Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	a-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.	week -6, month 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24
Primary	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.	For 3 years
Secondary	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.	month 24 and 36
Secondary	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.	week -6 and 0
Secondary	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.	week -6 and 0
Secondary	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.	month 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24
Secondary	Change amount of Fibrosis-4	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.	month 0, 6, 12, 18 and 24
Secondary	Change amount of FibroScan?	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.	week -6 and 0
Secondary	Change amount of EQ-5D	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 quality of life.	month -1, 6, 12, 18 and 24
Secondary	Change amount of EQ-VAS	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 quality of life.	month -1, 6, 12, 18 and 24
