- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: The primary aim of the trial is to examine whether administering either G-CSF alone or G-CSF followed by repeated infusions of stem cells is better than standard supportive care in improving severity of liver disease over 3 months. ;<br> Primary end point(s): The primary outcome measure will be change in MELD (Model for End stage Liver Disease) score (delta MELD) calculated using MELD at randomisation (Day 0) and Day 90 MELD.<br> ;<br> Secondary Objective: The secondary aims are to examine whether either G-CSF alone or G-CSF followed by repeated stem cell infusions is better than standard supportive care in:<br> a)reducing the amount of scarring in the liver<br> b)improving quality of life<br> c)reducing the number of complications related to liver disease<br> d)improving survival (without needing a transplant)<br>
