Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
No Intervention: Control group

Best Supportive care

Experimental: Injection group: Cellgram-LC

Within 1 month after extracting bone marrow, directly inject 7X10^7 autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells within liver through the hepatic artery.

Biological: Cellgram-LC
Patients will receive single injection of Cellgram-LC(mesenchymal stem cell) hepatic artery.

  • Autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Transplant free survival (TFS) [For 3 years]

      Transplant free survival (TFS), the median survival time and 95% confidence interval for each group were presented using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the difference in the survival distribution between the two groups was used as a Cox proportional hazards model corrected for stratification Black.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Survival rate [month 24 and 36]

      For the survival rate, the survival rate and 95% confidence interval at each time point are presented using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the difference in survival rate between the two groups is tested using the Z statistic.

    2. Change amount of Child-Pugh score [week -6 and 0]

      In order to compare the difference between groups in the amount of change in each evaluation variable at the time of visit after cell administration/best supportive therapy compared to the baseline value, covariance analysis (ANCOVA) is performed by setting the baseline time point and stratification factor as a correction variable for each evaluation variable. CP score was calculated using five factors: hepatic encephalopathy, prothrombin time, bilirubin, serum albumin, and ascites, and the score range was 5-15 points. In the Child-Pugh grade, scores of the five factors are summed and evaluated as A if it is less than 7 points, B if it is 7-9, and C if it exceeds 9 points.

    3. Change amount of MELD score [week -6 and 0]

      In order to compare the difference between groups in the amount of change in each evaluation variable at the time of visit after cell administration/best supportive therapy compared to the baseline value, covariance analysis (ANCOVA) is performed by setting the baseline time point and stratification factor as a correction variable for each evaluation variable. The higher the score, the higher the mortality rate.

    4. Change amount of Liver function test [month 0, 1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 and 24]

      In order to compare the difference between groups in the amount of change in each evaluation variable at the time of visit after cell administration/best supportive therapy compared to the baseline value, covariance analysis (ANCOVA) is performed by setting the baseline time point and stratification factor as a correction variable for each evaluation variable.

    5. Change amount of Fibrosis-4 [month 0, 6, 12, 18 and 24]

      In order to compare the difference between groups in the amount of change in each evaluation variable at the time of visit after cell administration/best supportive therapy compared to the baseline value, covariance analysis (ANCOVA) is performed by setting the baseline time point and stratification factor as a correction variable for each evaluation variable.

    6. Change amount of FibroScanⓇ [week -6 and 0]

      In order to compare the difference between groups in the amount of change in each evaluation variable at the time of visit after cell administration/best supportive therapy compared to the baseline value, covariance analysis (ANCOVA) is performed by setting the baseline time point and stratification factor as a correction variable for each evaluation variable.

    7. Change amount of EQ-5D [month -1, 6, 12, 18 and 24]

      In order to compare the difference between groups in the amount of change in each evaluation variable at the time of visit after cell administration/best supportive therapy compared to the baseline value, covariance analysis (ANCOVA) is performed by setting the baseline time point and stratification factor as a correction variable for each evaluation variable. The higher the score, the higher the quality of life.

    8. Change amount of EQ-VAS [month -1, 6, 12, 18 and 24]

      In order to compare the difference between groups in the amount of change in each evaluation variable at the time of visit after cell administration/best supportive therapy compared to the baseline value, covariance analysis (ANCOVA) is performed by setting the baseline time point and stratification factor as a correction variable for each evaluation variable. The higher the score, the higher the quality of life.

    Other Outcome Measures

    1. α-fetoprotein test [week -6, month 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, 24]

      Two sample t-test or Wilcoxon rank-sum test is performed to test the difference between the two groups for the results of tumor marker test (AFP) at each time point.
