An Open-label Single Arm Phase 2 Proof of Concept Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of ASCT01 in Patients With Critical Limb Ischemia

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.

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.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Male and Female patients in the age group of 18-80yrs.

2. Established CLI (confirmed by Rutherford 4 to 5) with angiographic evidence of
significant infra-inguinal arterial occlusive disease

3. Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABI) ≤ 0.6 or the absolute ankle blood pressure < 60 mm
Hg or TcPO2<20 mmHg without tissue loss or TcPO2<40 mmHg if there is tissue loss or
alternatively toe Brachial Pressure Index (TBI) less 0.5 or the absolute toe blood
pressure less than 50 mm Hg

4. No surgical or interventional option for revascularization and no response to best
standard care delivered as confirmed by a vascular surgeon and/or physician.

5. No immediate life-threatening complication from CLI which would demand immediate
amputation.

6. Patients who are able to understand the requirements of the study, and willing to
provide voluntary written informed consent, abide by the study requirements, and agree
to return for required follow-up visits.

7. On optimal medical therapy

8. If diabetic, HgbA1c <10%

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Acute life threatening complication of limb ischemia with the need for immediate limb
amputation to avoid death or clinical deterioration

2. Patients with confirmed Rutherford 6 condition with extensive tissue damage

3. Patients with documented terminal illness or cancer or any concomitant disease process
with a life expectancy of less than 6 months.

4. Patients with a history of severe alcohol or drug abuse within 3 months of screening.

5. Known bone marrow diseases which preclude transplantation.

6. End-stage renal failure on regular dialysis treatment. Creatinine ≥2.0 mg/dl

7. Patients already enrolled in another investigational drug trial or completed within
1month.

8. Pregnancy.

9. Patients tested positive for HIV screen1or2, Hepatitis C antibody Hepatitis B
surface-antigen, HepatitisBcore Antibody, Syphilis screen

10. Myocardial infarction / CVA / TIA within the past three months prior to enrollment

11. Revascularization procedure in target limb within 6 weeks prior to enrollment

12. Laboratory values as show below*

13. Currently taking immunosuppressive agents

14. If diabetic, diagnosis of proliferative retinopathy

15. Patients with infected ulcers or systemic infections *Laboratory Values: Hemoglobin
<10 g/dL Platelet count <100,000/microL ALT >60 U/L AST >60 U/L Bilirubin >1.0 mg/dL
INR >1.3 unless on Coumadin and at Investigator discretion APTT >40 second unless on
Lovenox or Heparin and at Investigator's discretion
