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.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Decompensated Cirrhosis Biological: Human Umbilical Cord-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells Phase 1

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.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidence of Adverse Events [ Time Frame: from baseline to 28th day ]
  2. incidence of dose-limiting toxicity-related adverse events [ Time Frame: from baseline to 28th day ]
  3. maximum tolerated dose [ Time Frame: from baseline to 28th day ]
  4. Change in Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) score from baseline to 28th day [ Time Frame: at 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 :
  1. 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 [ Time Frame: 3 days, 7days, 14 days, 21 days, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 18 months, and 24 months ]
  2. Incidence of each complication associated with decompensated cirrhosis [ Time Frame: up to 24 months ]
  3. liver transplant-free survival [ Time Frame: up to 24 months ]
  4. Incidence of liver failure [ Time Frame: up to 24 months ]
  5. plasma albumin (ALB) [ Time Frame: up to 24 months ]
  6. plasma prealbumin (PALB) [ Time Frame: up to 24 months ]
  7. total bilirubin (TBIL) [ Time Frame: up to 24 months ]
  8. serum cholinesterase (CHE) [ Time Frame: up to 24 months ]
  9. prothrombin time (PT) [ Time Frame: up to 24 months ]
    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.

  10. Child-Turcotte-Pugh (CTP) score [ Time Frame: up to 24 months ]

    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.


  11. EuroQol Group 5-Dimension Self-Report Questionnaire (EQ-5D) [ Time Frame: up to 24 months ]
    Quality of life assessment. Maximum is 5, minimum is 1. Lower scores mean a better outcome.

  12. Incidence of liver cancer [ Time Frame: up to 24 months ]
  13. ChronicLiver Disease Questionnaire (CLDQ) [ Time Frame: up to 24 months ]
    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.
