This trial is a pivotal, placebo-controlled, double-blind, parallel-group, adaptive trial conducted in subjects with DM and CLI Rutherford Category 4. Minimisation will be used to assign eligible subjects in a 2:1 ratio to receive a single intra-arterial administration of REX-001 or matching placebo into the index limb.

Inclusion criteria
✓. Aged ≥ 18 to ≤ 85 years.
✓. Diagnosis of Type I or II DM, established more than one year ago.
✓. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) \< 9%.
✓. Subjects with poor or no (surgical or endovascular) revascularization option classified as CLI Rutherford Category 4. The blood circulation in these subjects must be compromised at screening, defined as:
✓. In the opinion of the Investigator, the subject is controlled on medical therapy indicated for CLI (unless there is a documented contraindication or intolerance) and pain management is optimized.
✓. Women of childbearing potential (i.e., fertile, following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterile) must have a negative pregnancy test at screening. Men and women who are sexually active shall use effective contraceptive methods for the duration of their participation in this study if the partner of the male participant, or if the female participant is of childbearing potential.
Exclusion criteria
✕. Advanced CLI defined as presence of major tissue loss as significant ulceration/gangrene proximal to the metatarsal heads (CLI Rutherford Category 6). Significant ulceration/gangrene means any ulceration that extends beyond the subcutaneous tissue layer, or any gangrene or tissue necrosis proximal to the metatarsal heads.
What they're measuring
1
Complete relief of ischemic rest pain without developing ischemic lesions on the index leg.
Timeframe: The primary endpoint for this trial will be assessed at 12 months.
✕. Uncontrolled or untreated proliferative retinopathy.
✕. Failed surgical or endovascular revascularization on the index leg within 10 days after the procedure.
✕. Subjects in whom arterial insufficiency in the lower extremity is the result of acute limb ischemia or an immunological or inflammatory or non-atherosclerotic disorder (e.g., thromboangiitis obliterans (Buerger's Disease), systemic sclerosis (both limited and diffuse forms).
✕. Clinical evidence of invasive infection on index leg defined as major tissue loss at the mid-foot or heel involving tendon and/or bone, and/or when intravenous antibiotics are required to treat the infection according to the Investigator.
✕. At screening, the presence of only neuropathic ulcers on the index leg.
✕. Amputation at or above the talus on the index leg.
