In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

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.

Patients with hepatitis C virus-related decompensated liver cirrhosis may discontinue antiviral therapy during the study, or those who with antiviral therapy for HCV for less than 12 months, or hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA ≥ detection limit at the time of screening (except HCV RNA\< detection limit without any antiviral treatment). 5. Patients under treatment with corticosteroids for autoimmune hepatitis for less than 6 months. 6. Trans-jugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunts (TIPS) insertion within 6 months prior to study inclusion. 7.

Patients with biliary obstruction, or portal vein spongiosis. 10. Patients with surgical history such as splenic cut-off flow. 11. Patients with malignant tumors within 5 years, except those with basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and/or carcinoma in situ who had received curative treatment and curative resection. 12. Patients with a prior history of major organ transplantation or complicated with significant disease of heart, lung, kidney, blood, endocrine and other systems. 13. Drug abuse, drug dependence and patients who receive methadone treatment or with psychosis. 14. Against the human immunodeficiency virus antibody (Anti - HIV) or syphilis antibody test results were positive. 15. Pregnancy, lactation or with recent fertility plan during the test and 6 months after the test. 16.

Patients who had previously received stem cell therapy or were intolerant to cell therapy. 19. The proposed line of liver transplants within three months. 20. Participants in other clinical trials within the last 3 months. 21. Any other clinical condition which the investigator considers would make the patient unsuitable for the trial.
