About this study

A phase I trial to study the safety of mobilization of stem cells with G-CSF and Mozobil in patients with chronic liver disease.

Read the detailed description

Liver cirrhosis in humans represents the end stage of chronic liver injury. Supply of "new" stem cells to the liver could regenerate hepatocytes and restore the lost function. Delivery of Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) has been shown in animal models and limited clinical trials to result in improved liver disease (MELD) score.

In preclinical studies we have demonstrated that the combination of G-CSF plus Mozobil can effectively mobilize both hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) and MSCs into the peripheral circulation. While G-CSF only mobilizes HSCs.

The clinical trial will test the safety of treating patients with end stage liver disease with G-CSF and Mozobil to mobilize MSCs into the peripheral circulation.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Toxicity as measured by bone pain, hematologic parameters, GI measures and renal parameters

    The primary end point for this study is the safety of mobilization of stem cells in patients with end stage liver disease. Adverse events will be documented to assess safety.

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Effects of Mobilization

    The secondary objective is to study the mobilization of stem cells, including MSCs, to the peripheral circulation and the effect on liver function. Functional assays will define the levels of heamtopoietic stem cells (CD34+ cells) and MSCs (CFU-F) in the circulation of patients.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Mobilization with G-CSF and Mozobil in people with End Stage Liver DIsease, run by Proteonomix, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 24 Jan 2013. 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 United States. 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 phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Toxicity as measured by bone pain, hematologic parameters, GI measures and renal parameters (time frame: 12 months). 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 24 Jan 2013.
