NCT ID NCT07312864

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-phase trial is testing a new bioartificial liver device that uses liver cells grown from stem cells. It will be given to 12 people with liver failure or small-for-size syndrome. The main goal is to see if the treatment is safe and tolerable, while also checking for any signs that it might help liver function.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

bioartificial liver device containing stem-cell-derived liver cells

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a temporary liver support system for patients with liver failure, potentially reducing the need for urgent transplantation.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small trial (12 participants) focused on safety. The treatment may not improve liver function, and there are risks of allergic reactions, infection, or blood clots.
