About this trial

This phase III clinical trial is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of autologous Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSC) injected hepatic artery.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

At the time of screening, 19 or 70 years

Patients diagnosed with alcoholic cirrhosis by combining alcohol history, imaging and pathological examination results, and clinical symptoms at screening, and belonging to Child-Pugh grade B or C (Child-Pugh score of 7 or more)

Those whose survival period is more than 1 year when judged by the tester

Those who can perform hepatic artery catheterization by inserting a catheter into the hepatic artery at the judgment of the examiner

Disqualifiers

Those with a history of solid cancer including Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) (within 5 years before screening), those who have been diagnosed with solid cancer and are currently undergoing chemotherapy or those whose hepatocellular carcinoma has been confirmed by screening tests

Patients who underwent portal systemic shunting in the jugular vein

Patients with alcohol consumption or hepatotoxic drugs within 6 months prior to screening

Persons taking high-dose steroids, immunosuppressants, or antimicrobials due to severe infections for at least 1 month of screening

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Transplant free survival (TFS)

Transplant free survival (TFS), the median survival time and 95% confidence interval for each group were presented using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the difference in the survival distribution between the two groups was used as a Cox proportional hazards model corrected for stratification Black.

Time frame
For 3 years

Secondary outcomes

1

Survival rate

For the survival rate, the survival rate and 95% confidence interval at each time point are presented using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the difference in survival rate between the two groups is tested using the Z statistic.

Time frame
month 24 and 36
2

Change amount of Child-Pugh score

In order to compare the difference between groups in the amount of change in each evaluation variable at the time of visit after cell administration/best supportive therapy compared to the baseline value, covariance analysis (ANCOVA) is performed by setting the baseline time point and stratification factor as a correction variable for each evaluation variable. CP score was calculated using five factors: hepatic encephalopathy, prothrombin time, bilirubin, serum albumin, and ascites, and the score range was 5-15 points. In the Child-Pugh grade, scores of the five factors are summed and evaluated as A if it is less than 7 points, B if it is 7-9, and C if it exceeds 9 points.

Time frame
week -6 and 0
3

Change amount of MELD score

In order to compare the difference between groups in the amount of change in each evaluation variable at the time of visit after cell administration/best supportive therapy compared to the baseline value, covariance analysis (ANCOVA) is performed by setting the baseline time point and stratification factor as a correction variable for each evaluation variable. The higher the score, the higher the mortality rate.

Time frame
week -6 and 0
4

Change amount of Liver function test

In order to compare the difference between groups in the amount of change in each evaluation variable at the time of visit after cell administration/best supportive therapy compared to the baseline value, covariance analysis (ANCOVA) is performed by setting the baseline time point and stratification factor as a correction variable for each evaluation variable.

Time frame
month 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24

Other outcomes

1

α-fetoprotein test

Two sample t-test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test is performed to test the difference between the two groups for the results of tumor marker test (AFP) at each time point.

Time frame
week -6, month 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24
