About this study

Official title: Clinical Study of Congener Allogeneic Hepatocyte Transplantation Treatment in Patients With Liver Cirrhosis

The Primary Objective: To observe and determine the safety and tolerance of allogeneic hepatocyte transplantation in patients with liver cirrhosis and to establish the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) and evaluate the dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs).

The Secondary Objective: To observe the therapeutic efficacy of allogeneic hepatocyte transplantation for liver cirrhosis.

Read the detailed description
  • A traditional 3 + 3 dose escalation design will be implemented.
  • Successive cohorts of participants (3 or 3+3 participants /cohort) will start on a fixed cell numbers of allogeneic hepatocyte in three cohorts separately: L dose (low cell numbers); M dose (medium cell numbers); H dose (high cell numbers).
  • The 1st cohort will be given dose of L.
  • The 2nd cohort will be given dose of M.
  • The 3rd cohort will be given dose of H.
  • Dose escalation will continue until the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD). If no DLTs are observed for 28days after administration of the last dose, a new cohort will be enrolled at the next planned dose level. If DLTs are observed in 2 of the three participants, the MTD will be determined to be the dose administered to the previous cohort. If DLTs are observed in one participant in the cohort, another three participants will be treated with the same dose level. If the new three participants aren't observed DLTs, another cohort will be enrolled at the upper dose. If at least one of the new three ones are observed DLTs, the below dose will be the MTD.
  • MTD will stopped by testing increasing up to the H dose.
  • Toxicities will be graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Version 5.0 (CTCAE 5.0).

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose

    Observe the safety and tolerance after single infusion of hepatocyte.

    Measured: 28days

  2. Dose-Limiting Toxicities

    Observe the safety and tolerance after single infusion of hepatocyte.

    Measured: 28days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Allogeneic Hepatocyte in people with Liver Cirrhosis, run by RenJi Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 3 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Mar 2021. 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 China. 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 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.

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

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?

Contact Qiang Xia, Doctor (0086-02168383134, xiaqiang@medmail.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Maximum Tolerated Dose (time frame: 28days). 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 19 Mar 2021.
