Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial with historical control is to evaluate whether umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell (UC-MSC) therapy can improve clinical outcomes in infants with biliary atresia undergoing Kasai surgery before 90 days of age.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does UC-MSC therapy improve liver function parameters (bilirubin, albumin, liver enzymes, coagulation profile)? Does UC-MSC therapy reduce complications such as anemia, ascites, jaundice, and improve PELD scores? Does UC-MSC therapy improve overall survival compared to standard Kasai surgery alone? Researchers will compare the group receiving UC-MSC in 2025-2027 with a historical control group of patients who previously underwent Kasai surgery without UC-MSC therapy.

Participants will:

Undergo preoperative evaluation, including laboratory and imaging tests. Receive Kasai surgery combined with intraoperative trans-portal vein injection of 20 million UC-MSCs.

Be monitored postoperatively through serial laboratory tests, imaging (Fibroscan), and clinical assessments at scheduled intervals.

Be followed up for potential serious adverse events and survival outcomes.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention Group (UC-MSC Group)

Participants in this group are infants diagnosed with biliary atresia who undergo Kasai portoenterostomy before 90 days of age. During the operation, they receive intraoperative trans-portal vein injection of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) at a dose of 20 million cells diluted in 5 mL autologous plasma.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Umbilical Cord-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UC-MSCs)

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Intraoperative trans-portal vein injection of 20 million mesenchymal stem cells derived from umbilical cord tissue, suspended in 5 mL autologous plasma.

Kasai Portoenterostomy

Intervention Type PROCEDURE

Surgical procedure to create a portoenterostomy for biliary drainage in infants with biliary atresia.

Control Group (Historical Control Group)

Participants in this group are historical patients who previously underwent Kasai portoenterostomy before 90 days of age at the same institution but did not receive UC-MSC therapy. Data for this group is collected retrospectively.
