Study of Human Placenta-derived Cells (PDA002) to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness in Subjects With PAD and DFU

Not Recruiting

Trial ID: NCT01859117

Purpose

This clinical study is being conducted to assess the safety and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of PDA-002 [human placenta-derived cells] administered into the lower leg muscles of subjects with peripheral arterial disease and diabetic foot ulcers. It will look to see if PDA-002 helps reduce some of the symptoms of PAD and/or improves ulcer healing. This study will also help to find the best dose of PDA-002 to use in future studies.

      tobacco/nicotine patch for ≥ 3 months and must agree to remain tobacco/nicotine
      free for the duration of the study.

   13. A female of childbearing potential [FCBP] must have a negative serum pregnancy
      test at Screening and a negative urine pregnancy test prior to treatment with
      study therapy. In addition, sexually active FCBP must agree to use 2 of the
      following adequate forms of contraception methods simultaneously such as: oral,
      injectable, or implantable hormonal contraception; tubal ligation; intrauterine
      device [IUD]; barrier contraceptive with spermicide or vasectomized partner for
      the duration of the study and the follow-up period.

   14. Males (including those who have had a vasectomy) must agree to use barrier
      contraception (latex condoms) when engaging in reproductive sexual activity with
      FCBP for the duration of the study and the follow-up period.

      Exclusion Criteria:

   - The presence of any of the following will exclude a subject from enrollment:

      1. Any significant medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or psychiatric illness
      that would prevent the subject from participating in the study.

      2. Any condition including the presence of laboratory abnormalities, which places
      the subject at unacceptable risk if he or she were to participate in the study.

      3. Any condition that confounds the ability to interpret data from the study.

      4. Subjects whom, in the judgment of the Investigator, are at elevated risk for the
      development of a malignancy. This judgment may be based on family history,
      history of industrial exposures, smoking history or other cancer risk factors.

      5. Known to be positive for human immunodeficiency virus.

      6. Pregnant or lactating females.

      7. Subjects with a body mass index > 35 at Screening.

      8. Aspartate transaminase (AST) or Alanine transaminase (ALT) > 2.5 x the upper
      limit of normal (ULN) at Screening.

      9. Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) < 45 mL/min/1.73 m2 at Screening
      calculated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study equation (Levey,
      2006) or history of eGFR decline > 15 mL/min/1.73 m2 in the past year.

   10. Alkaline phosphatase > 2.5 x the ULN at Screening.

      Screening.

   12. Untreated chronic infection or treatment of any infection with systemic
      antibiotics, including the ulcer site, within 4 weeks prior to dosing with
      investigational product [IP].

   13. Known osteomyelitis.

   14. History of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

      period.

   16. Uncontrolled hypertension (defined as diastolic blood pressure > 100 mmHg or
      systolic blood pressure > 180 mmHg during Screening at 2 independent measurements

   17. Poorly controlled diabetes mellitus (hemoglobin A1c > 9%).

      attack/cerebrovascular accident in the preceding 6 months, and/or New York Heart
