Trial summary

Mainstream of current treatment of liver cirrhosis is liver transplantation, but there are high cost, risk and immune rejection and other issues. Umbilical cord mesenchyma stem cell with self-and directed differentiation capacity can effectively rescue experimental liver failure and contribute to liver regeneration… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy of Umbilical Cord Mesenchyma Stem Cell Transplantation in Liver Cirrhosis Patients

Mainstream of current treatment of liver cirrhosis is liver transplantation, but there are high cost, risk and immune rejection and other issues. Umbilical cord mesenchyma stem cell with self-and directed differentiation capacity can effectively rescue experimental liver failure and contribute to liver regeneration, which suggests the feasibility of stem cell transplantation therapy. In this study, the safety and efficacy of umbilical cord mesenchyma stem cell transplantation through interventional procedures in patients liver cirrhosis will be evaluated.

Read the detailed description

This study included three research centers, each center were carried out 25 cases of liver cirrhosis in patients with stem cell transplantation. All the selection and exclusion criteria are same, data summary and analysis will be complete by the epidemiological commissioner.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing stem cell transplantation through interventional procedures in people with Other Surgical Procedures, run by General Hospital of Chinese Armed Police Forces at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Oct 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

liver volume calculated by MRI (time frame: 3 days before transplantation, 6 and 12 months after transplantation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Oct 2012.
