Could stem cells offer a lifeline for sudden liver failure?

NCT ID NCT06740149

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

Summary

This study investigates whether infusions of bone marrow stem cells (CG-BM1) can safely help people with acute-on-chronic liver failure, a life-threatening condition where the liver suddenly stops working. The trial involves 90 adults and will test different doses of stem cells given intravenously. Researchers are checking for side effects and whether the treatment can improve survival without needing a liver transplant.

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

Active substance

bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (CG-BM1)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new treatment to help people with acute-on-chronic liver failure survive longer without needing a liver transplant.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial, so the stem cell therapy may not work as hoped, and there could be side effects like allergic reactions or infections. The results may not apply to all patients.
