This study is a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled multicenter clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell (UC-MSC) transplantation for the treatment of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF). UC-MSC therapy may improve the clinical outcomes of patients with ACLF. The trial would provide scientific evidence for UC-MSC transplantation as a potential treatment for ACLF.

Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Transplantation free survival rate | Transplantation free survival rate of ACLF patients. | week1, week2, week3, week4, week5, week8, week12, week24, week53 | |
Primary | Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events | Safety and Tolerability of UC-MSCs transplantation. | day0, day3, week1, week2, week3, week4, week5, week8, week12, week24, week53 | |
Secondary | International Normalized Ratio (INR) | INR was introduced as a standardized reporting mechanism allowing comparisons across laboratories and patients. Consensus guidelines recommend that INR = 1.5 can be used as a threshold, and current recommendations for targeting an INR of < 1.5 were based on studies across all surgical disciplines. | week-1, week0, day3, week1, week2, week3, week4, week5, week12, week24, week53 | |
Secondary | Concentration of Total Bilirubin (TBIL, mg/dL) | Total bilirubin refers to the concentration of bilirubin in a patient's blood sample, which is automatically measured by the laboratories in accordance with standard operating procedures. APASL defines ACLF as "an acute hepatic insult manifesting as jaundice (Serum Bilirubin = 5 mg/dL) and coagulopathy (international normalized ratio [INR] = 1.5) complicated within 4 weeks by clinical ascites and/or encephalopathy in a patient with previously diagnosed or undiagnosed chronic liver disease/cirrhosis, that is associated with a high 28-day mortality." | week-1, week0, day3, week1, week2, week3, week4, week5, week12, week24, week53 | |
Secondary | Concentration of Serum Albumin (ALB, g/L) | Serum albumin refers to the concentration of albumin in a patient's serum, which is automatically measured by the laboratory in accordance with standard operating procedures. Serum albumin is an independent protective factor for 30-day prognosis in ACLF patients. | week-1, week0, day3, week1, week2, week3, week4, week5, week12, week24, week53 | |
Secondary | Concentration of Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN, mmol/L) | Blood urea nitrogen refers to the concentration of urea nitrogen in a patient's blood sample. Blood urea nitrogen is a commonly used indicator of renal function in clinic. | week-1, week0, day3, week1, week2, week3, week4, week5, week12, week24, week53 | |
Secondary | The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease(MELD) score | R = 3.8×ln [TBiL (mg/dl)] +11.2×ln (INR) +9.6×ln [Cr (mg/dl)] +6.4× (Cause: biliary or alcoholic is 0, other is 1), the result is taken as an integer. Studies have shown that the optimal critical value of MELD score to judge the short-term prognosis of ACLF patients is 30, and when MELD score is greater than 30, the case fatality rate of patients within 3 months is significantly increased. | week-1, week1, week2, week4, week5, week12, week24, week53 | |
Secondary | Child-Turcotte-Pugh(CTP) score | CTP score is currently the most commonly used model to evaluate liver reserve function and prognosis in patients with cirrhosis. This model evaluates liver function based on HE grade, degree of abdominal fluid accumulation, bilirubin (TBiL), albumin (Alb) and prothrombin time (PT). The score ranges from 0 to 15, with the higher the score, the worse the prognosis. | week-1, week1, week2, week4, week5, week12, week24, week53 |
