Bone Marrow Mononuclear Cells vs Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Diabetic Patients With Chronic Limb Ischemia
Chronic Limb-threatening Ischemia, Diabetes Mellitus

About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Chronic Limb-threatening Ischemia focused on measuring Bone marrow mononuclear cells, Mesenchymal stem cells
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Adult male or female, 40 years of age or over (until 85 years old) TcPO2 ≤ 30 mmHg. Diagnosis of diabetes. Patients with signs of critical ischemia such as (i) ulcer that does not heal, (ii) necrosis or loss of tissue, (iii) pain at rest, and (iv) intermittent claudication. Basal Rutherford classification stage 3 to 5. Non-revascularizable patients due to comorbidities and/or anatomy. Patients that despite revascularization (vascular surgery), have adequate distal beds to perfuse the limb. Ankle/brachial index less than 0.4. Stenosis or occlusion of the infrapatellar arteries. Exclusion Criteria: Participants that do not sign the informed consent. Presence of osteomyelitis. Hemodynamic instability (MAP<65 mmHg or vasopressor requirement). Any acute systemic infectious disease process. Severe sepsis. Uncontrolled coagulopathy. Condition of cancer. Use of immunosuppressive or cytotoxic drugs Alterations of the bone marrow that do not allow the adequate extraction of the components to be used as: acute leukemia, chronic leukemia, marrow aplasia, myelodysplastic syndrome, and myelophthisis. Contraindication of sedation for bone marrow aspirate. Patients who have suffered in a period < six months of myocardial infarction, disease cerebrovascular or coronary intervention. Patients with liver failure indicated by serum transaminases (aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase), with values twice the normal limit. Any acute or chronic contagious disease including hepatitis B, hepatitis C, and HIV. Any other comorbidity that the treating vascular surgeon considers as a contraindication to cell treatments.

Placebo group
Auto-BM-MNC
Allo-WJ-MSCs
Placebo group (n=10), which consisted of 15 injections of 1 mL of vehicle (1 mL saline solution with 2% of autologous serum) on periadventitial arteries in one dose at day 0.
Auto-BM-MNC (n=7) were obtained from diabetic patients. Fifteen injections of 7.197x106 ± 2.984x106 cells/mL each with 2% of autologous serum were periadventitial arteries administrated in one dose at day 0.
Allo-WJ-MSCs (n=7) were obtained from culturing the WJ from healthy cordon umbilical donors unrelated to the patient. Fifteen injections of 1.333x106 cells/mL each with 5% of human serum albumin serum were periadventitial arteries administrated in one dose at day 0.
