Overview

It is a prospective, non-randomized, single-arm cohort study. A total of 10 patients will be included in this study. Based on standardized treatment, the treatment of bioartificial liver device will be applied 48-72 hours after extensive hepatectomy. The bioartificial liver device consists of clinical-grade human-induced hepatocytes (hiHep) generated from human fibroblasts via transdifferentiation. In order to evaluate the security and effectiveness of the device, liver function, liver volume, the incidence of liver failure and other results will be analyzed.

Description

Include large-scale hepatectomy patients who meet the Inclusion criteria into the experimental group. Patient will be sent to ICU monitoring after surgery , the investigators will evaluate the blood routine, liver and kidney function, blood coagulation function, and immune inflammation indicators on the first day after surgery, and large veins will be temporarily indwelled within 48-72 hours Hemodialysis tube, then take artificial liver treatment which lasts 4-6h, follow-up test results on the 1st day, 3rd day, 7th day, 1 month and 3 months about blood routine, liver and kidney function, coagulation function, blood ammonia, Immune inflammation indicators, imaging examinations (CT or MR) at 7 days, 1 month and 3 months after treatment, to evaluate the recovery of liver function and liver regeneration after artificial liver treatment.

  10. Those with severe systemic circulatory failure;
  11. Those who are highly allergic to the drugs used in the treatment process, such as plasma, heparin, protamine, etc.;
  12. Combined pregnancy;
  13. Patients with hepatorenal syndrome;
  14. Patients with autoimmune liver disease;
  15. Patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver and hereditary liver diseases (Wilson syndrome and a-antitrypsin deficiency);
  16. Other conditions that the clinician believes cannot tolerate the treatment.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
