A Clinical Trial to Study the Efficacy and Safety of Stempeucel® in Patients With CLI Due to Buergers Disease

Phase 2

Withdrawn

• Conditions: Critical Limb Ischemia Due to Buerger's Disease
• Interventions: Biological: Stempeucel(R)

• Registration Number: NCT03056742
• Lead Sponsor: Stempeutics Research Pvt Ltd

Brief Summary

This study is being conducted as an extension of the phase II clinical trial SRPL/CLI/10-11/001 (NCT01484574). The CDSCO has recommended flexibility for continued clinical study in consultation with ICMR, as per recommendation of Cellular biology based therapeutic drug evaluation committee (CBBTDEC).

Detailed Description

This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of intramuscular injection of stempeucel(R) (Ex vivo cultured adult bone marrow derived allogeneic mesenchymal stem cells) in Critical Limb Ischemia due to Buerger's Disease
