Brief Summary:

The objective of the study is to establish the safety profile of

Intramuscular PLX-PAD injections and to evaluate the clinical efficacy of it in IC subjects comprising of 4 treatment groups:

  1. Double treatment of PLX-PAD low dose
  2. Double treatment of PLX-PAD high dose
  3. Double treatment of Placebo
  4. Single treatment of PLX-PAD high dose and additional treatment of Placebo. Subjects will receive the assigned treatment twice to the affected leg, within 12-weeks interval between each treatment.

The study will be comprised of 5 stages:

Screening period of up to 4 weeks,first treatment of PLX-PAD or placebo followed by additional injection after 12 weeks and with follow-up of 12 months post second injection

Ages Eligible for Study:   45 Years to 85 Years   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Adult male or female subjects between 45 to 85 years of age (inclusive) at the time of screening visit.
  • Subjects with a diagnosis of peripheral artery disease, secondary to atherosclerosis, confirmed by one of the following criteria assessed at the screening visit:

    • Resting ankle-brachial index (ABI) ≤ 0.80 or
    • Resting ABI ≤ 0.90 and >20% decrease in ABI from rest to exercise when measured within 1 minute after treadmill exercise or
    • Toe-brachial index (TBI) ≤ 0.60
  • Lifestyle-limiting, moderate to severe claudication (symptoms present and stable for > 6 months and not significantly changed within the past 3 months prior to screening).
  • Evidence of significant (>50%) stenosis infra-inguinal occlusive disease as confirmed by documented results from Duplex, MRA, CTA and/or contrast angiogram completed within 3 months prior to screening.
  • The longest maximal walking distance (MWD) from the Screening Period exercise treadmill tests (ETT), utilizing a modified Gardner Protocol (Appendix I), must be between 1 and 10 minutes (inclusive).
  • Subjects who have persistent claudication symptoms despite having been recommended an exercise program if feasible, and or despite having been on a stable dose of Cilostazol, if indicated. Subjects should be Cilostazol free for at least 2 weeks prior to the first ETT.
  • Subjects should be receiving standard of care drugs for vascular disease including anti-platelet agent(s) and statin medication, as well as anti-hypertensive medication(s) and oral hypoglycemic agents/insulin, if indicated.
  • Signed written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Ischemic rest pain; ulceration or gangrene (Fontaine class III-IV; Rutherford category 4-6).
  • Failed lower extremity arterial reconstruction (surgical or endovascular) or sympathectomy within the prior one month of screening.
  • Planned revascularization (surgical or endovascular intervention) within 12 months after screening.
  • Lower extremity arteries inflow obstruction (defined as a greater than 50% stenosis of aorta, iliac and/or common femoral arteries).
  • History of Buerger's disease.
  • Uncontrolled hypertension (defined as diastolic blood pressure > 100 mmHg or systolic blood pressure > 180 mmHg during screening).
  • Uncontrolled diabetes defined as glucose control HbA1c > 9% at screening.
  • Life-threatening ventricular arrhythmia - except in subjects with an implantable cardiac-defibrillator.
  • Serum Creatinine level>2.5mg/dl.
  • SGPT (ALT), SGOT (AST) >2.5 x upper limit of normal range.
  • Hemoglobin < 10 g/dl.
  • Unstable cardiovascular disease defined as myocardial infarction (STEMI or NSTEMI) within 3 months prior to screening, or unstable angina - characterized by increasingly frequent episodes with modest exertion or at rest, worsening severity, and prolonged episodes.
  • Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)/Stroke within 3 months prior to screening.
  • Subjects with severe congestive heart failure symptoms (i.e. NYHA Stage III to IV).
  • Subjects with Implant of mechanical prosthetic heart valve(s).
  • Pulmonary disease requiring supplemental oxygen treatment on a daily basis.
  • Severe, active infection of the involved extremity(ies), including osteomyelitis, fasciitis, or severe/purulent cellulitis.
  • History of malignancy within 5 years prior screening requiring chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy and/or immunotherapy, excluding basal or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin.
  • Exercise is limited by any condition other than IC, including but not limited to congestive heart failure, chronic pulmonary disease, angina pectoris, or degenerative joint disease.
  • Uninterrupted use of warfarin or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (with the exception of ibuprofen at doses up to 1,200 mg/day or Diclofenac at dose of 75mg/day).
  • Subjects who are on oral anticoagulant therapy (warfarin, dabigatran, apixaban, endoxaban and rivaroxaban). Unless, upon primary care physician and/or Investigator's discretion the subjects who are on warfarin treatment can switch to Low Molecular Weight Heparin treatment (such as: Clexane) 5-7 days prior study treatment administration and return to warfarin treatment 24 hours post study treatment administration.
  • Subjects who are taking immunosuppressive treatment (including high dose steroids).
  • Known allergies to protein products (Bovine serum, or recombinant trypsin) used in the cell production process.
  • Known sensitivity to Gentamycin.
  • Known sensitivity to antihistamine drugs.
  • History of hospitalization due to allergic/hypersensitivity reaction to any substance (e.g. Food or drug).
  • Medical history of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) or syphilis positivity at time of screening.
  • Known active Hepatitis B, or Hepatitis C infection at the time of screening.
  • Pregnant or breast-feeding women or women of childbearing age not protected by an effective contraceptive method of birth control (such as double barrier, oral or parenteral hormonal, intrauterine device and spermicide).
  • In the opinion of the Investigator, the subject is unsuitable for participating in the study.
  • Subject is currently enrolled in, or has not yet completed a period of at least 30 days since ending other investigational device or drug trial(s).
  • Subjects that have prior exposure to gene or cell based therapy.
  • Subjects who are legally detained in an official institute.
