Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are Malaysian adults aged 18-65 with atherosclerotic peripheral arterial disease who have not responded to or are not eligible for surgical interventions.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with Buerger's disease or those eligible for surgical revascularization may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of Stempeucel®, a type of stem cell therapy, administered intramuscularly to Malaysian patients suffering from critical limb ischemia (CLI) due to peripheral arterial disease. It is an observational, practice-based feasibility study that aims to determine if this treatment can alleviate symptoms, enhance healing rates, and improve functional outcomes. Patients will be monitored for one year post-treatment to assess any serious adverse events and overall effectiveness. The study involves a single-arm design with multiple injections based on the patient's body weight.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve the quality of life for patients with critical limb ischemia by promoting healing and reducing symptoms.
How similar studies have gone: While stem cell therapies are being explored for various conditions, this specific approach is novel and has not been extensively tested in similar patient populations.
