Liver Cirrhosis Fibrosis Liver Disease Digestive System Disease | Biological: conventional therapy plus MenSC transplantation Drug: Conventional therapy plus placebo treatment | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
The purpose of this study is to show whether menstrual blood-derived stem cells can improve the disease conditions in patients with liver cirrhosis.
One of two treatment arms will be assigned to the patients. One group will receive 2 weeks of conventional therapy plus MenSCs treatment; The other group will receive 2 weeks of conventional therapy plus placebo treatment.
MenSCs will be cultured and collected in a GMP lab. Patients were strictly monitored after the cells injection via i.v.. Patients are followed up at intervals up to at least 2 years.Clinical parameters such as ascites volume,serum alanine aminotransferase,total bilirubin,prothrombin time,albumin,MELD score,and Child-Pugh score will be evaluated at each timepoint.
