About this study

Official title: Safety and Efficacy Investigation of Patients With Liver Cirrhosis by Transplantation of Umbilical Cord Blood Mononuclear Cells

This study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells transplantation in liver cirrhosis patients.

Read the detailed description

Decompensated liver cirrhosis (LC), a life-threatening complication of chronic liver disease, is one of the major indications for liver transplantation. Recently, umbilical cord blood mononuclear cells transfusion has been shown to lead to the regression of liver fibrosis in animal model. The investigators thus investigated the safety of the therapy with life signs like temperature, pulse, blood pressure, the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma and mortality and so on. And the efficacy was evaluated with the measurement of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL), albumin (ALB), cholinesterase (CHE), prothrombin time (PT) and child-pugh score.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
umbilical cord blood mononuclear cellsExperimentalUmbilical Cord blood come from healthy puerpera. Erythrocyte in umbilical cord blood was separated and deleted through sedimentation. Mononuclear cells in umbilical cord blood were then isolated with a conventional method and reagent,Ficoll,by density gradient centrifugation.

What is being measured

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

  1. child-pugh classification

    1. child-pugh A (child-pugh score 5-6)
    2. child-pugh B (child-pugh score 7-9)
    3. child-pugh C (child-pugh score≥10)

    Measured: whinin 7 days before transplantation, 1,3 and 6 months after transplantation

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. coagulation

    1. prothrombin time (PT)
    2. activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT)
    3. fibrinogen (FIB)

    Measured: whinin 7 days before transplantation, 1,3,6 months after transplantation

  2. liver function

    1. alanine aminotransferase (ALT)
    2. aspartate aminotransferase (AST)
    3. total bilirubin (TBIL)
    4. direct bilirubin (DBIL)
    5. serum cholinesterase (CHE)
    6. albumin (ALB)

    Measured: whinin 7 days before transplantation, 1,3 and 6 months after transplantation

  3. vital signs

    1. temperature
    2. pulse
    3. blood pressure

    Measured: 1, 2 and 3 days after transplantation

  4. incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma

    Measured: 1, 3 and 6 months after transplantation

  5. mortality

    Measured: 1, 3 and 6 months after transplantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Umbilical Cord Blood Mononuclear Cells in people with Liver Cirrhosis, run by Hebei Medical University 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 1 inclusion and 6 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 15 Nov 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 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 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?

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?

child-pugh classification (time frame: whinin 7 days before transplantation, 1,3 and 6 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 15 Nov 2013.
