Stem cell therapy for liver cirrhosis
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new treatment using stem cells for people with liver cirrhosis caused by alcohol, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it can help improve liver function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have cirrhosis because of heavy drinking, hepatitis B, or hepatitis C.
- Your liver disease is at a moderate to severe stage, as measured by a standard score (Child-Pugh 7-12).
- If your cirrhosis is from alcohol, you have not had a drink for at least 3 months.
- If you have hepatitis B or C, your virus is well controlled.
- You do not have significant kidney or bleeding problems, cancer, or other serious health issues.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding and agree to use birth control if needed.

This study tests a new treatment made from stem cells (from umbilical cord fluid) that may help reduce liver scarring and improve liver function in people with cirrhosis. It is an early-stage trial to see if the treatment is safe and feasible.
This early-stage trial tests umbilical cord “mesenchymal” stem cells in people with liver scarring (cirrhosis) that is caused by hepatitis B. It may help improve liver function and related complications, but it is mainly designed to check safety and how well the treatment works.
This study tests whether stem cells from umbilical cord blood can safely help people with advanced liver scarring (cirrhosis) caused by hepatitis B. It may offer a new option for those who haven't improved with usual treatments.
This trial tests umbilical-cord stem cells to see if they can improve outcomes in people with decompensated (worsening) cirrhosis. You may be considered if your liver disease is moderate to severe (MELD 15–30) and you do not have certain high-risk problems right now.
This trial tests an injection of stem cells from donated umbilical cords to see if it can help people with advanced liver scarring from hepatitis B. You may be able to join if standard treatments haven’t helped enough and you aren’t able to get a liver transplant.
This trial tests whether a special type of stem cell therapy can help people with severe liver failure (called ACLF) that is not caused by a virus. The treatment may help your liver recover and improve your overall condition.
