The primary objective of this trial is to investigate whether intramuscular administration of allogeneic mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) is safe and potentially effective, assessed as a composite outcome of mortality, limb status, clinical status (Rutherford classification) and pain score (visual analogue scale), in patients with no-option severe limb ischemia (SLI).
The investigators will conduct a double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized clinical trial to investigate the effect of allogeneic bone marrow(BM)-derived MSC in patients with SLI, who are not eligible for conventional surgical or endovascular therapies. The investigators intend to include 60 patients, who will be randomized to undergo 30 intramuscular injections with either BM-MSC (30 injection sites with 5*10^6 MSCs each) or placebo in the lower leg of the ischemic extremity. Primary outcome i.e. therapy success, a composite outcome considering mortality, limb status, clinical status (Rutherford classification) and changes in pain score, will be assessed at six months.

| Allogeneic Mesenchymal Stromal Cell | Drug | Intramuscular allogeneic BM-MSC injection: MSCs will be extracted from BM of healthy volunteers, expanded with human platelet lysate, and stored. Patients will receive intramuscular allogeneic BM-MSC injections at 30 sites in the lower leg of the ischemic limb. Blinded syringes are provided and cell suspensions will be injected intramuscularly by an experienced operator into multiple sites (30 sites, 1-1.5cm in depth, volume of 1.0mL containing 5*10^6 MSC per site; total 150*10^6 BM-MSCs) in the ischemic lower extremity. Injections will be performed under IV analgesia (fentanyl) and sedation (midazolam) if necessary. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Therapy Success | Composite outcome measure considering mortality, limb status, clinical classification and changes in pain score. To be a "success" a subject must: A, be alive; B, be without a major amputation on the index limb; C, have not worsened in Rutherford classification or visual analog pain scale; and D, have improved in either Rutherford classification or visual analog pain scale. Subjects not meeting all of the criteria are classified as failures. | 6 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Major amputation | Amputation sited proximal from the ankle joint | 2, 6, 12, 24, and 60 months |
