NCT02538978

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, double-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-center, pivotal clinical study in which subjects are evaluated for prevention of major limb amputation in the treatment of non-reconstructable Rutherford Category 5 critical limb ischemia (CLI). Subjects will be randomized in 3:1 ratio (device treatment: placebo-control).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Major Limb Amputation Free Survival

    The measure of survival without a major (above the ankle) amputation within 12 months from the procedure and between group analyses at 12 months.

    12 months

Secondary Outcomes (12)

  • Major amputation

    12 months

  • All-Cause Mortality

    12 months

  • Doubling of wound size

    12 months

  • New full thickness lesion

    12 months

  • Wound healing (photographic method of measuring area, depth, perimeter and volume of wounds)

    1, 3, 6 and 12 months

  • +7 more secondary outcomes

Other Outcomes (2)

  • Ankle Brachial Index (ABI)

    1, 3, 6 and 12 months

  • Rest Pain

    1, 3, 6 and 12 months

Study Arms (2)

Device Arm

EXPERIMENTAL

Device arm subjects will receive an intra-operative point of care aspiration, preparation and intramuscular injection of autologous bone marrow concentrate (aBMC) into the afflicted lower index limb.

Biological: Autologous Bone Marrow Concentrate (aBMC)

Placebo Arm

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

Placebo arm subjects will undergo an intra-operative point of care aspiration and preparation of bone marrow via the investigational device exactly as the Treatment Arm. However, instead of receiving the dosing with the aBMC device output, they will receive an intramuscular injection of diluted autologous peripheral blood into the afflicted lower index limb.

Biological: Placebo Control (diluted autologous peripheral blood)

Interventions

Aspirated bone marrow will be processed by centrifugation, separating out a concentrate (aBMC) comprising primarily white blood cells and platelets. These cells will be injected i.m. to loci determined by the operating physician using imaging and vascular flow criteria. Device: SurgWerks-CLI Kit Device: VXP System

Device Arm

Diluted peripheral blood prepared in a blinded fashion to resemble bone marrow will be injected intramuscularly per the same procedure used for the Experimental Device Arm.

Also known as: Diluted autologous peripheral blood
Placebo Arm

Eligibility Criteria

Age40 Years - 85 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • IC 1 Male or Female of age ≥ 40 and ≤ 85 years.
  • IC 2 Chronic CLI from atherosclerotic ischemic peripheral arterial disease (PAD) of a lower limb classified as Rutherford Category 5: (ischemic pain at rest and minor tissue loss with ulceration per IC 3).
  • IC 4 A non-surgical candidate for revascularization as ruled by the investigator and confirmed by the BICR (single reader) and defined as: failure of all previous standard revascularization therapies /reconstruction attempts (at least two weeks prior to enrollment) no conduit suitable for bypass grafting, medical high risk that precludes bypass surgery, and diffuse multi-segment disease, or extensive infra-popliteal disease not amenable to endovascular therapy..
  • IC 5 Ability to maintain compliance with tolerated medical management regimen for PAD that includes smoking cessation, and may include management of hyperlipidemia, diabetic management, antiplatelet therapy, statin therapy, ACE inhibitor therapy (or ARB therapy) and beta blocker therapy for control of blood pressure.
  • IC 6 Willingness, ability and commitment to participate in baseline and follow-up evaluations for the full length of the study.
  • IC 7 Poor lower extremity perfusion defined as an:
  • ABI ≤ 0.6, or
  • Foot/Ankle SPP ≤ 30 mmHg, or
  • Ankle systolic pressure ≤ 60 mmHg or Toe pressure \<40 mmHg
  • IC 8 Written informed consent.

You may not qualify if:

  • EC1 Women who are pregnant, lactating or planning a pregnancy during the twelve (12) months of the follow-up period.
  • EC2 Advanced CLI of the affected index limb classified in a category other than Rutherford 5.
  • EC3 Advanced CLI in the opposing limb (non-index) with Rutherford category 6.
  • EC4 Patients with aorta-iliac occlusive disease with \>50% stenosis
  • EC5 Any prior amputation in the index limb beyond the toe(s) or digits or trans-metatarsal in the past four weeks.
  • EC6 Ischemic wounds with systemic infectious symptoms (fever, hypotension, and/or positive blood cultures).
  • EC7 Ischemic wounds having exposed tendon or bone.
  • EC8 PT/INR \> 2.0 in the pre-admission baseline. If on warfarin, PT/INR which is not titrated to ≥ 2.0 prior to the treatment procedure.
  • EC9 Ulcers above the ankle
  • EC10 Subjects on renal dialysis or with end stage renal disease (Serum creatinine of ≥ 2.5 mg/dl or GFR ≤ 15 using CKD-EPI equation of National Kidney Foundation).
  • EC11 Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (HbA1c ≥ 10%)
  • EC12 Anemia defined as a Hgb of ≤ 10mg/dl or a HCT ≤ 30%
  • EC13 Any diagnosed immune-deficient status except well-controlled HIV infection (defined as HIV RNA qPCR ≤ 20 copies/mL).
  • EC14 History of any neoplastic disease/cancer (other than basal cell carcinoma) in the previous three (3) years.
  • EC15 Intolerance to heparin.
  • +10 more criteria
