About this study
Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Open-label, Active-controlled, Phase 3 Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous Drop of 'LAENNEC INJ. (Human Placenta Hydrolysate) Compared With Subcutaneous Injection in Patients With Chronic Liver Disease
Control group : LAENNEC subcutaneous injection (4 ml)
Experimental group : LAENNEC intravenous injection (10 ml)
Read the detailed description
This is a multi- center, randomized, open-label, Active-controlled phase 3 trial in participants aged 18 to 70 years with chronic liver disease. It is designed to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of both 4 ml SC and 10ml IV LAENNEC when administered twice of week for 6 weeks. A total of 226 participants will be randomised to received 4ml SC or 10ml IV of LAENNEC a 1:1 ratio. And in 4 ml SC and 10 ml IV, the ratio of ALD and NAFLD is 1:3. The investigational product will be administered SC or IV twice of week for a duration of 6 weeks. Participants will return to the clinic for follow-up safety and efficacy assessments on weeks 2, 4, 6.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in ALT level relative to baseline at 6 weeks
In order to compare the test groups and control groups, check the ALT change after 6 weeks compared to the baseline.
For the 6 week ALT change amount, a civic analysis (ANCOVA) is performed with the ALT level of the base line and the tamed dynasty (alcohol liver disease/non -alcohol liver liver disease) in a covenant.
In addition, depending on the normal distribution of the data, the Paired t-test or Wilcoxon's rank test is performed to confirm the difference in the average change in the military.
Measured: week 6
Secondary outcomes (7)
Change in ALT level relative to baseline at 2, 4 weeks
In order to compare the test groups and control groups, check the ALT change after 2,4 weeks compared to the baseline.
For the 2,4 weeks ALT change amount, a civic analysis (ANCOVA) is performed with the ALT level of the base line and the tamed dynasty (alcohol liver disease/non -alcohol liver liver disease) in a covenant.
In addition, depending on the normal distribution of the data, the Paired t-test or Wilcoxon's rank test is performed to confirm the difference in the average change in the military.
Measured: week 2, 4
Change in AST, Total Bilirubin and r-GT level relative to baseline at 2, 4, 6 weeks
In order to compare the test groups and control groups, check the AST, Total Bilirubin and r-GT change after 2,4,6 weeks compared to the baseline.
For the 2, 4, 6 weeks AST, Total Bilirubin and r-GT change amount, a civic analysis (ANCOVA) is performed with the ALT level of the base line and the tamed dynasty (alcohol liver disease/non -alcohol liver liver disease) in a covenant.
In addition, depending on the normal distribution of the data, the Paired t-test or Wilcoxon's rank test is performed to confirm the difference in the average change in the military.
Measured: week 2, 4, 6
The rate of ALT normalization at 2, 4, 6 weeks
Check the difference by conducting Chi-Square Test or Fisher's Exact Test for the number and ratio of the ALT normal level at 2, 4, 6 weeks.
Measured: week 2, 4, 6
The rate of AST normalization at 2, 4, 6 weeks
Check the difference by conducting Chi-Square Test or Fisher's Exact Test for the number and ratio of the AST normal level at 2, 4, 6 weeks.
Measured: week 2, 4, 6
ALT normalization time
It presents the time to normalize the ALT of the test group and the control group, and checks the difference between the test group and the control group using the log order test.
Measured: during 6 week
The Rate of participants with ≤ 20% decrease of ALT relative to baseline at 2, 4 weeks
Check the difference by conducting Chi-Square Test or Fisher's Exact Test for the number and ratio of the ≤ 20% decrease of ALT relative to baseline at 2, 4, 6 weeks.
Measured: week 2, 4, 6
Change in FSS score relative to baseline at 6 weeks
In order to compare the test groups and control groups, check the FSS change after 6 week compared to the baseline.
For the 6 week FSS change amount, a civic analysis (ANCOVA) is performed with the ALT level of the base line and the tamed dynasty (alcohol liver disease/non -alcohol liver liver disease) in a covenant.
In addition, depending on the normal distribution of the data, the Paired t-test or Wilcoxon's rank test is performed to confirm the difference in the average change in the military.
Measured: week 6

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing LAENNEC (Human Placenta Hydrolysate) IV and LAENNEC (Human Placenta Hydrolysate) SC in people with Chronic Liver Disease, run by Green Cross Wellbeing at 1 site in South Korea.
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 33 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Feb 2026. 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 South Korea. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Yeongmin Kwon (+82-70-8892-7881, ymkwon@gccorp.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Change in ALT level relative to baseline at 6 weeks (time frame: week 6). 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 25 Feb 2026.
