    Determined by changes in vital signs, electrocardiographic, biochemical, hematological, and urinalysis measures, and reported adverse events
    Change in Leg Ulcer
    Rate and extent of leg ulcer wound healing as measured by change in wound surface area Ulcer diameter will be recorded

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    Numeric pain intensity scale (0-10)
    Change in Sickle Cell Disease leg ulcer wound pain scores as measured by a 10-point scale (analogic visual scale) and relative to non-wound site pain scores
    Ulcer Healing
    Defined as a Decrease in Ulcer Area by at Least 25% of the Initial Area Ulcer diameter will be recorded
    Quality of Life

    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of autologous bone marrow stem cell implantation for the treatment of leg ulcer in adult patients with sickle cell disease.
    Detailed Description
    Implantation of bone marrow mononuclear cells, including endothelial progenitor cells and mesenchymal stromal cells, into leg ulcers has been shown to improve wound healing. In the present study the safety and efficacy of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cells implantation will be investigated in patients with chronic leg ulcers. Forty cases will be enrolled. Improvement in the pain, rate and extent of leg ulcer wound healing as measured by change in wound surface area will be evaluated until one year.
