About this study

Official title: A Phase 1/2 Study of ADR-001 in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis

This is a first-in-human Phase1/2 study of ADR-001, adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs). The safety and preliminary efficacy are evaluated in Phase 1 in patients with liver cirrhosis caused by Hepatitis C or Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis and a recommended Phase 2 dose is determined by the evaluation. The exploratory efficacy and safety are investigated against the same target population in Phase 2.

Read the detailed description

Patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis (Child-Pugh score; Grade B) caused by Hepatitis C or Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis are enrolled to the study. In Phase 1, one of 3 doses of AD-MSCs is administered by 1 hour single intravenous infusion. Patients are hospitalized for 1 week and a recommended dose for Phase 2 is determined by the evaluation of the safety and efficacy. In Phase 2, patients with the same disease criteria are enrolled and dosed to investigate the exploratory efficacy and safety.

The safety and efficacy are evaluated until 24 weeks after dosing both in Phase 1 and Phase 2.

What participants receive

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

  • Mesenchymal stem cellBiological

    Phase1 The dose of AD-MSCs are escalated from low to mid and high step by step. Each administration is one time via intravenous infusion for one hour.

    Phase2 The recommended dose of ADR-001 is administrated once a week 4 times. The administration route and time is same method with Phase 1.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety profile of ADR-001 including the incidence of adverse events (Phase 1)

    Safety will be evaluated based on the medical review of adverse event reports and the results of clinical laboratory tests, vital sign, and physical examinations.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  2. Improvement rate of Child-Pugh score (Phase 2)

    Improvement rate of Child-Pugh score from the baseline will be evaluated.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change of liver function evaluated by Child-Pugh score (Phase 1)

    Change of liver function from the baseline will be evaluated by Child-Pugh score.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  2. Improvement rate of Child-Pugh score (Phase 1)

    Improvement rate of Child-Pugh score from the baseline will be evaluated.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  3. Improvement rate of Child-Pugh grade (Phase 1)

    Improvement rate of Child-Pugh grade from the baseline will be evaluated.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  4. Change of liver function evaluated by Child-Pugh score (Phase 2)

    Change of liver function from the baseline will be evaluated by Child-Pugh score.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  5. Improvement rate of Child-Pugh grade (Phase 2)

    Improvement rate of Child-Pugh grade from the baseline will be evaluated.

    Measured: 24 weeks

  6. Safety profile of ADR-001 including the incidence of adverse events (Phase 2)

    Safety will be evaluated based on the medical review of adverse event reports and the results of clinical laboratory tests, vital sign, and physical examinations.

    Measured: 24 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Mesenchymal stem cell in people with Decompensated Liver Cirrhosis, run by Rohto Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. at 2 sites in Japan.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Jul 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Safety profile of ADR-001 including the incidence of adverse events (Phase 1) (time frame: 24 weeks). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 6 Jul 2023.
