About this trial

Decompensated cirrhosis has a high overall mortality rate. There is a large unmet need for safe and alternative therapeutic potions. This clinical trial is to inspect the efficiency and safety of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) therapy for decompensated cirrhosis.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Willing to provide written informed consent;

Aged 18 to 75 years (including 18 and 75 years), male or female;

Patients diagnosed with decompensated liver cirrhosis based on clinical findings, laboratory tests, imaging findings and/or representative pathological findings (decompensated liver cirrhosis is defined as the occurrence of at least one serious complication, including esophageal and gastric varices bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy, ascites, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis and other serious complications);

The Model for End-stage Liver Disease (MELD) score 15 to 30 points.

Disqualifiers

Appearance of active variceal bleeding, overt hepatic encephalopathy (HE), refractory ascites or hepatorenal syndrome within 1 month prior to screening visit.

Uncontrolled severe infection within 2 weeks of screening.

Patients with hepatitis B virus-related decompensated liver cirrhosis may discontinue antiviral therapy during the study, or those who with antiviral therapy for HBV for less than 12 months, or hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA ≥ detection limit at the time of screening.
