Stem cell blood filter tested for liver failure

NCT ID NCT06904755

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

Summary

This early study tests whether using mesenchymal stem cells in a blood purification device is safe and can help adults with liver failure. Ten participants will receive the treatment alongside standard care. Researchers will track survival at 28 days and check for side effects. The stem cells stay outside the body and do not enter the patient.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

mesenchymal stem cells (used outside the body in a blood purification device)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new way to support liver function and improve survival in liver failure without needing a transplant.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 10 people, so it is too small to prove effectiveness. The cells work outside the body, and the main goal is safety, not a cure.
