Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Efficacy evaluation: improvement in: 1. Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) (1 month of implantation) 2. Transcutaneous Oxygen pressure (TcO2) (1 month) 3. Rest pain Safety evaluation: 1. Adverse effects caused by the implanted cells including teratoma, ossification, etc. 2. Adverse effects caysed by erythropoietin including polycythemia, hypertension, pure red cell aplasia, thrombosis in heart/lung/brain, etc. 3. Adverse effects caused by possible residual components used as supplements for cell culture including allergy, serum sickness, infections, etc. 4. Common adverse effects caused by drug administration stated in National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI-CTC)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Improvement in ABI (6, 12, 18 and 24 month of implantation) and Transcutaneous Oxygen pressure (TcO2) (6, 12, 18 and 24 months) 2. Improvement in subjective symptoms: Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) in 1, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months of implantation 3. Improvement in limb ulceration in 1, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months of implantation 4. Elongation in range of pain-free walking in 1, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months of implantation 5. The requirement of analgesic in 1, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months of implantation 6. Manifestation of new collaterals evaluated by angiography in 1 month of implantation
