National Collaborative Centre for Hepatic Regenerative Medicine (NC-CHRM): Phase I Study on Safety and Efficacy of Mesenchymal Stem-Cell (MSC) Therapy in Non-Viral Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF)
Sponsor: Institute of Liver and Biliary Sciences, India
Summary
Liver disease deaths are rising, but transplants remain scarce in India. With over 100,000 needed annually and only \~2,500 performed, non-transplant options are urgently needed. Regenerative therapy, especially MSCs, shows promise but lacks validation, particularly for non-viral Acute on Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF). The proposed NC-CHRM aims to develop and validate MSC-based therapy to promote native liver regeneration and offer a safe, effective, transplant-free treatment.

umbilical cord Mesenchymal Stem Cell
To test the safety and tolerability of ucMSC 1 million/kg will be given intra-venously once a week for 4 week in 10 ACLF patients. 250 ml normal saline will be infused 30 minutes prior to ucMSCs infusion. The fresh ucMSCs will be taken from ILBS cGMP facility and will be infused through IV canula peripherally over 30 minutes followed by a further 250 ml normal saline over 20-30 minutes.
