Critical Limb Ischemia Ischemia | Device: HemaTrate™ Blood Filtration system Other: Saline | Not Applicable |
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Actual Enrollment : | 2 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Masking: | Triple (Participant, Care Provider, Outcomes Assessor) |
Masking Description: | The investigator for this study is the person that will be performing the injections throughout the study and will know the participant's treatment (TNC or saline). The investigator that is aware of the participant's treatment will not be performing the follow-up visits. |
Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | Clinical Study of the Use of an Autologous Blood Filtration Device in the Treatment of Critical Limb Ischemia |
Actual Study Start Date : | July 23, 2019 |
Actual Primary Completion Date : | November 27, 2020 |
Actual Study Completion Date : | November 27, 2020 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Treatment Arm
Patients assigned to the treatment arm will be injected with autologous concentrated total nucleated cells (TNCs) three times at six week intervals.
|
Device: HemaTrate™ Blood Filtration system
Anticoagulated whole blood is loaded into the filtration system. During gravity filtration, the majority of platelets, plasma, and red blood cells pass through the filter into a filtrate bag. The TNCs are captured in the filter material and recovered via a back-flush with 0.9 % saline into a syringe. |
Placebo Comparator: Saline (Control Arm)
Patients assigned to the control arm will be injected with saline three times at six week intervals.

Other: Saline

- Freedom from vascular or endovascular arterial intervention below the knee of the study leg [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Percent of patients that have vascular or endovascular arterial intervention reported below the knee of the study leg
- Freedom from major amputation of the study leg [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Percent of patients that have any amputation above the ankle of the study leg
- Death [ Time Frame: 12 months ]Percent of patients that exit due to death
