Official title: Efficacy of Exvivo Expanded Autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cell Transplantation Via Peripheral Vein in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis

This study is aiming to investigate the efficacy of autologous mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation in 25 randomized patients with liver cirrhosis autologous mesenchymal stem cell will be derived from patients' bone marrows and will be infused via peripheral vein. Liver biopsies will be performed in every patient in the beginning and at 6th month.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing autologous mesenchymal stem cell transplantation in people with Liver Cirrhosis, run by Saglik Bilimleri Universitesi Gulhane Tip Fakultesi at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 7 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

clinical improvement (time frame: clinical improvement parameters will be assessed six month after mesenchymal stem cell 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.
