A Safety and Efficacy Study of Autologous Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Critical Limb Ischemia

An Open Labeled, Single-center, Phase I Study Assessing the Safety and Efficacy of Autologous Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Critical Limb Ischemia

This clinical trial to study the Safety and Efficacy of Autologous Mesenchymal stem cells in critical limb ischemia.

If the participant voluntarily agrees to participate in the clinical trial before registration, the investigator conducts a screening test to evaluate the participant's suitability.

A participant that satisfies all inclusion and exclusion criteria is assigned a test group(2-time injection group).

Participants conduct cell therapy within 30 days after bone marrow aspiration, and will re-inject autologous mesenchymal stem cells within 30 days after first injection.

Participants will make a total of 5 hospital visits after registration, and Safety and Efficacy will be evaluated based on a fixed procedure on every visit.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Age from 20 to 80 years
• Patients with resting pain or ulceration of limb (Rutherford's class: II-4, III-5 or III-6)
• Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) ≤ 0.6 or TCPO2 ≤ 60mmHg in the foot
• Patients who were unsuitability for percutaneous transluminal angioplasty or a bypass operation
• Patients who are not expected other treatments for at least 6 months
• Patients who can agree to participate in the clinical trial by oneself or by one's legal representative
• Patients who can conduct the clinical trial according to the protocol

• Patients already enrolled in another clinical trials or completed within 3 months
• Patients who cannot adapt to the protocol and follow-up observation
• Patients who has experienced drug abuse for the past 1 year
• Patients with any disease or condition which the investigator fell would interfere with trial or the safety of the subject
