This trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of concentrated bone marrow aspirate (cBMA) to prevent or delay major amputation and/or death in subjects with critical limb ischemia (CLI) due to severe peripheral arterial disease (PAD).
This is a prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled, multicenter trial intended for subjects with critical limb ischemia (CLI) that are unsuitable for revascularization. The investigational treatment utilizes autologous concentrated bone marrow aspirate (cBMA) at the point of care. The bone marrow aspirate is obtained from the subject's hip, concentrated with a bone marrow concentration device, and delivered intramuscularly to the affected limb. Subjects meeting the inclusion/exclusion criteria will be randomized to receive either the investigational treatment (cBMA) or a placebo control (sham treatment).

Occurrence of Major Amputation or Death
Occurrence of major amputation (above the ankle joint) or death.
Time frame: 52 weeks
Visual Analog Scale (VAS) - Pain
Pain reported at the 52-week follow-up visit as assessed on the visual analog scale (VAS). Scores are recorded by making a handwritten mark on a 10-cm line that represents a continuum between "no pain" and "worst pain." The distance from the beginning of the line is measured and reported in centimeters (cm), with 0 representing no pain and 10 representing the worst possible pain.
Time frame: 52 weeks
Six-Minute Walk Test
Measurement (in meters) of the total distance a participant is able to walk in 6 minutes. Since ability to walk is related to the condition of the affected limb, this measure is tied to limb pain and function. If a participant had multiple limbs included in the study, each limb was evaluated separately. Only one limb could be included in the study at a time.
Time frame: 52 weeks
