About this study

Official title: A Safety and Efficacy Study of Autologous Bone Marrow Cell Infusion Therapy in HIV Infected Patients With Advanced Liver Cirrhosis

An international investigation to evaluate if, and if so how long, autologous bone marrow hematopoietic stem cell transplantation can safely restore liver functions for HIV infected patients who have decompensated liver cirrhosis.

Read the detailed description

An international investigation to evaluate if, and if so how long, autologous bone marrow (ABM) hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can safely restore liver functions for HIV infected patients who have decompensated liver cirrhosis.

Being tested
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
Medical subject headings
HIV Infections, Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, Fibrosis

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Hematopoietic stem cell transplantationProcedure or surgery

    Also called Autologous bone marrow cell infusion therapy (ABMi)

    Harvest and apheresis of bone marrow cells from HIV infected patients with cirrhosis under general anesthesia, using bone marrow collection system and transplanting the patients' hematopoietic stem cells back to the patients

Study groups in NCT01309594
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantationExperimentalExtraction of bone marrow cells from HIV positive patients with advanced liver cirrhosis and transplant their bone marrow back into the patients
Receives: Procedure: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Post-transplantation prognosis for cirrhosis

    Evaluate statistical significance between pre-transplantation and 24 weeks after in:

    • Child-Pugh score
    • albumin
    • serum fibrosis markers
    • Transient Elastography (TM)
    • ascites imagery
    • SF-36v2(TM) Health Survey.

    Because advanced liver cirrhosis is a progressive condition itself, treatment efficacy is defined by "improvement" and "no change" in the indicators listed.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Duration of the treatment efficacy

    Using the same evaluation modules as of the primary outcomes, investigate and assess the autologous bone marrow transplantation effectivity chronologically after the primal 24 weeks up to 48 weeks to evaluate the duration of the treatment efficacy.

    Measured: After 24 weeks up to 48 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in people with HIV Infection and AIDS, run by National Center for Global Health and Medicine, Japan at 1 site in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Sep 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Japan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Post-transplantation prognosis for cirrhosis (time frame: 24 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Sep 2014.
