About this study

Official title: Therapeutic Effects and Safety of RL-1 Novel Human-derived Bio-artificial Liver Treatment in Patients of Hepatitis b Virus Related Acute-on-chronic Liver Failure

This study is to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of RL-1 Novel Human-derived Bio-artificial Liver treatment in patients with Hepatitis b virus related acute-on-chronic liver failure.

Read the detailed description

Hepatitis b virus (HBV) related acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a serious condition with high mortality rate in China. But there still lacks of effective therapies in treatment of HBV related ACLF, except liver transplantation. RL-1 Novel Human-derived Bio-artificial Liver treatment may be an effective and safe therapy due to the previous clinical data. This study is to investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of RL-1 Novel Human-derived Bio-artificial Liver treatment in patients with HBV related ACLF.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Plasma exchangeOther

    Patients will receive treatment of plasma exchange for three times in two weeks. The volume of fresh frozen plasma used in plasma exchange is about 2000 millilitre per time.

  • RL-1 Novel Human-derived Bio-artificial Liver TreatmentOther

    Patients will receive RL-1 Novel Human-derived Bio-artificial Liver treatment for three times in two weeks. The volume of plasma exchanged in the system is about 4000 millilitre per time.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Plasma exchange and RL-1 Novel Human-derived Bio-artificial Liver Treatment in people with Hepatitis B and Acute-On-Chronic Liver Failure, run by Third Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen 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 5 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
