Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm Type

Experimental

Arm Label

Human Umbilical Cord-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Arm Description

Standard of care (SOC) plus a multiple administration and dose-escalasion with 2 cohorts with 3 subjects/cohort who receive doses of 1 and 2 ×10E8 cells. Each person received 3 infusions, 1 week apart, Proceed from lower dose to higher dose if no safety concerns for each cohort.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Incidence of Adverse Events
incidence of dose-limiting toxicity-related adverse events
maximum tolerated dose
Change in Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score from baseline to 28th day
The Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) is a scoring system that evaluates the liver function reserve and prognosis of patients with chronic liver disease by creatinine, international normalized ratio (INR), and bilirubin-conjugated cirrhosis etiology. The MELD score is calculated by the formula: R = 9.6 × ln (creatinine mg/dl) + 3.8 × ln (bilirubin mg/dl) + 11.2 × ln (INR) + 6.4 × etiology, and the results are taken as integers. ( 0 for cholestatic and alcoholic cirrhosis and 1 for other causes of cirrhosis such as viruses).

Secondary Outcome Measures

Change in Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score from baseline to 3 days, 7days, 14 days, 21 days, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months
Incidence of each complication associated with decompensated cirrhosis
liver transplant-free survival
Incidence of liver failure
plasma albumin (ALB)
plasma prealbumin (PALB)
total bilirubin (TBIL)
serum cholinesterase (CHE)
prothrombin time (PT)
Prothrombin time (PT) is a blood test that measures the time it takes for plasma to clot, to check for bleeding problems, or to check whether medicine to prevent blood clots is working.
Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score
Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score is a scoring system that evaluates the liver function. Maximum is 15, minimum is 5. Higher scores mean a worse outcome.
EuroQol Group 5-Dimension Self-Report Questionnaire (EQ-5D)
Quality of life assessment. Maximum is 5, minimum is 1. Lower scores mean a better outcome.
Incidence of liver cancer
ChronicLiver Disease Questionnaire (CLDQ)
Quality of life assessment. The Chronic Liver Disease Questionnaire (CLDQ) was developed as an evaluative instrument to measure longitudinal change in health status within individuals with chronic liver disease. In addition to measuring both physical and mental health, the instrument was designed to be a disease-specific tool for assessing areas of function important to patients with chronic liver disease. Maximum is 7, minimum is 1. Higher scores mean a better outcome.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This clinical trial is a Phase 1, multiple administration, dose-escalasion clinical trial of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of decompensated cirrhosis. The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety of intravenous infusion of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells in patients with decompensated cirrhosis.
Detailed Description
Decompensated cirrhosis has a high overall mortality rate. There is unmet need for safe and alternative therapeutic potions. This clinical trial is a Phase 1, multiple administration, dose-escalasion clinical trial of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of decompensated cirrhosis. The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety of intravenous infusion of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells in patients with decompensated cirrhosis.In order to illustrate the safety and effectiveness of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells and the patient's dose tolerance to human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells.
