Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The primary safety end points are: The type of adverse events AE(s), number of AE(s) and proportion of patients with AE(s). Assessment of clinical laboratory parameters. Assessment of vital signs. Assessment of electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters.Timepoint: All primary safety and efficacy endpoints will assessed at 6th months comparing the baseline values. However safety will be monitored for the entire duration of study and at every visits.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The secondary efficacy endpoints are: 1.Increase in transcutaneous partial oxygen pressure (TcPO2) 2.Ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) measured by Doppler 3.Vasculogenesis by Magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) 4.Prevention of Amputation of the target limb within study periodTimepoint: All the secondary endpoints are assessed mainly at 6th month and at the end of study
