Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Relief of the rest pain [6 months]
Rest pain will be measured using rest pain scale (0 to10)
- Healing of ulcerations or reduction of ulcer area in the target limb [6 months]
Complete ulcer healing defined as complete epithelisation of ulcer and partial ulcer healing as at least 30% decrease in ulcer size.
- Relief of the rest pain [24 months]
Rest pain will be measured using rest pain scale (0 to 10)
- Healing of ulcerations or reduction of ulcer area in the target limb [24 months]
Complete ulcer healing defined as complete epithelisation of ulcer and partial ulcer healing as at least 30% decrease in ulcer size.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Pain free walking distance [6 and 24 months]
- Major amputation free survival [6 and 24 months]
- Ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI) - measured by Doppler [6 and 24 months]
- Increase in transcutaneous partial oxygen pressure (TcPO2) [6 and 24 months]
- Quality of life by King's College VascuQOL questionnaire [6 and 24 months]
- Angiogenesis - collateral blood vessels by Magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) [6 and 24 months]
- The type of adverse events AE(s), number of AE(s) and proportion of patients with AE(s). [6 and 24 months]
- Assessment of clinical laboratory parameters [6 and 24 months]
- Physical examination findings and assessment of vital signs [6 and 24 months]
- Assessment of electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters [6 and 24 months]
