A Phase 1/2 interventional study of HepaCure and DPMAS and LPE in Acute on Chronic Hepatic Failure, Liver Failure and Hepatitis, sponsored by Hexaell Biotech Co., Ltd.. Recruiting at 1 site in China. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 65 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-02-25.
Sponsored by Hexaell Biotech Co., Ltd. · Phase 1/2, Interventional, and Treatment
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
190 studies on the registry are indexed under Liver Failure; 33 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 92 is above the median of 57 across 113 interventional studies indexed under Liver Failure.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.
Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.
Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

Patients will receive Hepacure treatment ffollowing the treatment of DPMAS and LPE
Combination Product: HepaCure
Patients will receive DPMAS and LPE treatment
Device: DPMAS and LPE
HepaCure will be administered in extracorporal dialysis following the treatment of DPMAS and LPE.

Safety outcome
Based on the recorded adverse events (AE), serious adverse events (SAE), adverse events of special interest (AESI), and device deficiencies (such as leakage caused by the inherent quality issues of the plasma bio-purification column), the safety from the start of the study treatment until 14 days after the end of the study treatment was evaluated.（Phase I）
Time frame: From the initiation of treatment until 14 days after the end of study treatment.]
survival rate
The survival rate without liver transplantation at 12 weeks after the first treatment.（PhaseⅡ） Absolute change from baseline in the MELD score of subjects at week 4 after the first treatment. （PhaseⅡ）
Time frame: 12 weeks after the initial treatment]
