Early Kasai surgery with stem cells for biliary atresia
Part of Digestive system, Genetic & congenital clinical trials.
This trial tests if giving umbilical cord stem cells along with a standard surgery (Kasai procedure) helps infants with biliary atresia. It aims to see if this combination can improve outcomes for babies diagnosed early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must have biliary atresia, diagnosed during surgery.
- The Kasai surgery must be done before your baby is 90 days old.
- Your baby cannot have severe malnutrition.
- Your baby cannot have other major birth defects besides biliary atresia.
- Your baby must not have positive tumor markers (signs of cancer).
- You (parent or guardian) must agree to the study and follow all its steps.

This study is testing whether stem cells can help infants with liver cirrhosis from biliary atresia (a blocked bile duct condition) who have already had Kasai surgery. It aims to see if stem cell therapy can improve liver function and reduce complications.
This study tests a medicine called GCSF (helps make white blood cells) in babies who have had Kasai surgery for biliary atresia. It aims to see if GCSF can improve liver function and overall outcomes.
This study tests whether a special nutrition plan helps babies with biliary atresia recover better after Kasai surgery. It is for infants under 3 months old who are ready for surgery.
This trial studies whether giving oral antibiotics before symptoms start can lower the chance of cholangitis (bile duct infection/inflammation) after Kasai portoenterostomy. It may help protect your child’s bile flow and reduce painful or serious infections after surgery.
This trial tests whether a special nutritional support formula rich in medium-chain fats can help infants with biliary atresia after the Kasai procedure. It may support feeding and liver recovery during the early months after surgery.
This study tracks and treats cholangitis (a type of liver infection) in children who have had Kasai surgery for biliary atresia within the past year. It aims to better understand and manage this complication.
