Study Summary

This is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label phase 1/2 clinical study conducted in China to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of hiHep cell-based bio-artificial liver support system (HepaCure) plus DPMAS versus DPMAS alone in Chinese subjects with acute-on-chronic liver failure(ACLF).

Phase 1 is a multicenter, open label study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single dose and multiple doses of HepaCure with different treatment duration plus DPMAS in ACLF subjects respectively.

Phase 2 is a multicenter, randomized and controlled open label study to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of HepaCure plus DPMAS and LPE in ACLF subjects
