Stem cell shot aims to save limbs in rare artery disease
NCT ID NCT05854615
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether injections of Stempeucel, a stem cell product made from donor bone marrow, can help people with critical limb ischemia caused by Buerger's disease. The goal is to see if it reduces pain, heals ulcers, improves blood flow, and prevents amputation. Only 3 participants will be enrolled, and they will be followed for one year to check safety and effectiveness.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Stempeucel (stem cells from donor bone marrow)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a treatment that reduces pain, heals ulcers, and lowers amputation risk for people with Buerger's disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small feasibility study with only 3 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Stem cell treatments can have side effects like infection or immune reactions.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Males or females (willing to use accepted methods of contraception during the course of the study) in the age group of 18-65 years. 2. Buerger's disease as diagnosed by Shionoya criteria 3. Patients should have at least one ulcer (target ulcer): area between 0.5 to 10 cm2 (both inclusive) 4. Ankle Brachial Pressure Index (ABPI) ≤ 0.6. If ABPI is ≥ 1.1 then Toe Brachial Index (TBI) will be performed and TBI should be ≤ 0.5 5. Patients who are able to understand the requirements of the study, and willing to provide voluntary written informed consent, abide by the study requirements, and agree to return for required follow-up visits Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients diagnosed with atherosclerotic peripheral arterial disease 2. Patients eligible for surgical or percutaneous revascularization 3. Patients with a history of participating in another stem cell trial or therapy within 3 months 4. Patients who are unsuitable to participate the clinical trial as determined by investigators
