December 11, 2017 updated by: Alexandra Cristina Senegaglia, Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Paraná

Multicentric Study of the Autologous Bone Marrow-derived Mononuclear Cells Injection for Treatment of the Patients With Critical Lower Extremity Ischemia

The purpose of this study is to determine whether autologous bone marrow-derived stem cells are effective in the treatment of lower extremity ischemia.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is a debilitating and disabling disease. Symptoms include pain at rest, loss of tissue integrity, distal amputations and have a major impact on the quality of life. Despite recent advances in surgical vascular procedures, a large number of patients (approximately 40%) are not eligible for these revascularization procedures. New strategies for revascularization need to be explored. Besides, in some cases results of such interventions do not give desirable effect, search of new methods of treatment therefore is necessary. Recent evidence indicates that bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BM-MNC) are a potential new therapeutic target.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 75 years (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Critical lower limb ischemia, defined as ischemic pain at rest and / or the presence of minor tissue loss, with the possibility of healing.
  • Failure of conventional medical treatment and attempts to open or percutaneous revascularization before, with an observation period of two months after the last attempt at revascularization.
  • Patients considered at high risk for new revascularization procedure by at least two independent observers.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Expected life span less than six months
  • Large tissue loss in the ischemic limb indicating the need for limb amputation in the short term.
  • Evidence of osteomyelitis in the ischemic extremity.
  • Current or previous history of neoplasia.
  • Unstable angina, recent stroke or other medical condition that contraindicate anesthesia for bone marrow aspiration.
  • Proliferative retinopathy.
  • Debilitating disease with a life span less than one year.
  • Myelofibrosis, myelodysplasia or other diseases that affect the bone marrow.
  • Use of alcohol in excess of twice-daily doses or history of illicit drug use.
  • Need for continuous high doses of drug therapy with steroids (more than 7.5 mg/day).
  • Positivity for HIV or syphilis

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Wound healing (wound size, wound stage) - monitoring the healing of trophic lesions
Time Frame: 3 months
3 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
