Clinical Trial Summary

This study will assess the safety and efficacy of intra-arterial infusion and intramuscular injection of an autologous, bone marrow-derived stem cell preparation (ASCT01) in patients with critical limb ischemia who have exhausted all medical and surgical therapeutic options. The safety and tolerability will be evaluated by regular monitoring of the general physical condition, vital signs, and the occurrence of AE and SAE, respectively. Furthermore, the standard biochemical and blood variables (red and white blood cell counts, Hb, Ht, platelets, sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, phosphor, ASAT, ALAT, bilirubin, total protein, albumin, AP, cholesterol (LDL,HDL), triglycerides, urea and creatinine, immunoglobulins, HBA1c, C-peptide) will be checked before the treatment as well as 30 and 90 days after the treatment.

Description:

Efficacy will be determined by number of collateral arteries as assessed magnetic resonance angiography at baseline and again at 3 months, rate of major amputation (above the ankle) of the affected limb within 3 months or an unchanged critical limb ischemia of the affected limb after 3 months defined as less than 15% change in tcPO2 or ABI or absolute ankle pressure.Efficacy endpoint is at 3 months. Clinical endpoints and safety will be measured through 12 months.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	To assess the efficacy and safety of intra-arterial infusion and intramuscular injection of ASCT01 on the combined primary endpoint of major amputation (above the ankle) or persisting critical limb ischemia (no clinical or perfusion improvement).	The primary outcome variable is "treatment failure" defined as major amputation (above the ankle) of the affected limb within 3 months or an unchanged critical limb ischemia of the affected limb after 3 months defined as less than 15% change in tcPO2 or ABI or absolute ankle pressure.	primary outcome measured at 3 months
