New blood filter shows promise for liver failure patients
NCT ID NCT05129904
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a blood-filtering treatment called DPMAS for people with severe liver failure. The goal is to see if it can lower the risk of death or worsening disease within weeks. About 1300 adults with chronic liver disease and high bilirubin levels are taking part. Researchers will also collect blood, urine, and stool samples to better understand who benefits most.

Who is studied
Given the global heterogeneity of current regional diagnostic criteria for ACLF, the study enrolled a subgroup of patients with chronic liver disease (CLD) related ACLF defined by total bilirubin ≥ 12 mg/dL and INR level ≥ 1.5, which simultaneously fulfilled the diagnostic criteria recommended by Chinese and Asia-Pacific, while a considerable proportion also fulfilled the ACLF diagnostic criteria defined by European guidelines. This study population is characterized by markedly elevated bilirubin levels, making it well aligned with real-world clinical practice given that DPMAS intervention selectively targets bilirubin adsorption. Additionally, previous data have suggested that this specific patient population associated with a high rate of disease progression rate (approximately 40%) and high mortality (over 20%), further suggesting that the enrolled population is suitable for screening the optimal ACLF subgroup with favorable responses to DPMAS.
