AN OPEN-LABEL PARALLEL-GROUP, PHASE II RANDOMISED CONTROLLED TRIAL OF AUTOLOGOUS MONOCYTE DERIVED MACROPHAGE INFUSION IN COMPENSATED CIRRHOSIS
<div><p><b>Background: </b>Cirrhosis is characterised by severe liver fibrosis, organ dysfunction and liver-related complications. Presently, there are no approved anti-fibrotic or pro-regenerative therapies for cirrhosis. Preclinical studies have shown bone marrow-derived macrophage injections can resolve hepatic fibrosis, stimulate regeneration and reduce inflammation.
