Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to major amputation or death (AFS)Up to 36 months from enrollment
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to first occurrence of any of the events (in index leg)-major amputation, revascularization due to worsening of CLI, All-cause mortality.Up to 36 months from enrollment
Time to major amputation of the index leg.Up to 36 months from enrollment
Change from baseline in ischemic pain as assessed by numerical rating scale (NRS) at 6 months.6 months from enrollment

NRS measures the intensity or magnitude of sensations and subject feelings and the relative strength of attitudes and opinions about specific stimuli, on a scale of 0 to 10 with a score of zero denoting "no pain at all" and a score of 10 denoting "worst possible pain".

Proportion of subjects with complete healing of all ischemic lesions i.e., ulcers and necroses in the index leg at 12 months.12 months from enrollment
Time (days) from randomization to occurrence of death.Up to 36 months from enrollment
