About this study

Official title: Clinical Study of Human Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Treating Decompensated Liver Cirrhosis Associated With HBV

The purpose of this study was to observe the safety ,tolerability ,Efficacy dose of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells in patients of decompensated liver cirrhosis with HBV.

Read the detailed description

Investigators plan to recruit 24 voluntary patients of decompensate liver cirrhosis with HBV, dividing them into 3 group:1) low-dose group: 100mL with 2.5×10^7 cells;2) medium-dose group: 100mL with 5.0×10^7 cells;3) high-dose group: 100mL with 1.0×10^8 cells. Each group contains 8 patients. Investigators treat the participants with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells via venous transfusion. First investigators arrange a whole test for participants, such as vital sign examination, laboratory test, ECG, CT, MRI, ultrasound etc. Investigators screen these patients with a complete eligibility criteria. Then investigators proceed the therapy in the 1st, 8th and 15th day. There are 8 times of follow-up visit for these patients, 4 times of those are proceeded during the hospitalization, while other 4 times happens after the discharge. The follow-up visit includes vital sign examination, laboratory test, ECG, CT, MRI, ultrasound, Child-Pugh grade, MELD grade, SF-36 test. These follow-up visit last 24 weeks since the first treatment. After that, investigators also arrange a survival visit through phone or clinic each 6 months, lasting another 1.5 years. The main object of this research is investigating the survival rate, promotion of the liver function, improvement of health, safety of hUC-MSCs, tolerability of patients, for exploring a new way for the therapy of decompensated liver cirrhosis with HBV.

The scores contain 8 parts, including physical functioning, role-physica, bodily pain, general health, vitality, social functioning, role-emotional and mental health. Conversion score=(actual score-minimum score in this part)/(maximum score in this part-minimum score in this part)*100. Score of each part range from 0 to 100. The higher score means more healthy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Early Phase 1 study testing hUCMSCs in people with HBV, run by Zhongnan Hospital 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 14 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Dec 2023. 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?

Early Phase 1 (sometimes called Phase 0) studies give a very small amount of a treatment to a few people, mainly to see how the body handles it.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Serum albumin in g/L (time frame: 24 weeks). The study lists 9 primary outcomes in all. 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 1 Dec 2023.
