AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* 1\. Age 20 and 80 (when signing informed consent), both male and female;
2\. Patients diagnosed with lower limb arterial ischemic disease based on DSA or CTA and combined with their medical history and clinical manifestations and Rutherford grade 4 (resting pain) must meet the following criteria simultaneously (if both limbs of the subject have lower limb arterial ischemic disease, the researcher shall choose one limb for the study).Resting ankle systolic pressure (dorsal foot artery or posterior tibial artery) ≤70mmHg or ABI≤0.5 or TcPO2 \< 30mmHg;In the first 3 months after randomized inclusion, DSA or CTA confirmed severe stenosis (≥70%) or occlusion of superficial femoral artery or popliteal artery or inferior knee artery.
3\. Chronic lower limb arterial ischemia combined with resting pain met the following requirements: resting pain lasted for more than 2 weeks when the informed consent was signed;
4\. Agreed to use the basic treatment drugs as required during the trial, and recorded the daily record of the subjects in a timely and complete manner. The compliance of the basic treatment drugs and the subjects' diary filling during the screening period was 70%.
5\. Agree to use appropriate contraceptive measures during the experiment;Female subjects of reproductive age, blood pregnancy test negative;
6\. Signed informed consent
Exclusion Criteria:
* 1\. Patients with acute lower limb ischemia or acute exacerbation of chronic lower li…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
