排除标准
- •Platelets <50,000mm at baseline; OR
- •Evidence of chronic renal failure as defined by a serum creatinine >/= 2.5mg/dL as measured during the 1-6 month period prior to study entry. (Subject is not excluded with a creatinine >2.5 mg/dL if deemed to be type-1 hepato-renal syndrome); OR
- •Contraindication to renal replacement therapy (hemodialysis or hemofiltration); OR
- •International Normalization Ratio (INR) > 3.5; OR
- •Septic shock as defined by a positive blood culture and two or more of the following:
- •Systolic blood pressure <90mmHg OR mean arterial pressure <60mmHg;
- •Tachypnea > 20 breaths per minute OR a PaCO2<32 mmHg;
- •White blood cell count < 4000 cell/mm3 OR > 12000 cell/mm3 (<4 x 10(9) or >12 x 10(9) cells/L).
- •Evidence of major hemorrhage as indicated by:
- •requiring >/= 4 units packed red blood cells within a 48 hour period prior to Screening, OR
- •hemodynamic instability (sustained pulse > 120 beats/min AND systolic blood pressure < 100 mmHg over one hour)
- •Subjects with a recent history of gastrointestinal hemorrhage who have been successfully treated and remain hemodynamically stable for a period of 48 hours will then be eligible for the study if the investigator determines the subject to be at low risk for rebleeding; OR

- •Systolic blood pressure <85 mmHg OR MAP <50mmHg at baseline; OR
- •Requirement for escalating doses of vasopressor support OR of an alpha-adrenergic agent for one hour or longer AND evidence of hemodynamic instability; OR
- •Subject at maximum vasopressor dose at Screen; OR
- •Clinical or radiographic evidence of a new stroke or intracerebral bleeding; OR
- •Seizures uncontrolled by medication; OR
- •Acute myocardial infarction based on clinical and/or electrocardiographic evidence; OR
- •Lung disease defined by a PaO2<60mmHg on room air, acute respiratory distress syndrome, or a history of severe COPD or interstitial lung disease; OR
- •Pregnancy as determined by beta-HCG results or lactation; OR
- •Participation in another investigational drug, biologic, or device study within 1 month of enrollment. Subjects enrolled in an observational study will be eligible for this trial.
- •Previous liver transplant.
- •Previous participation in a clinical trial involving ELAD.
研究组 & 干预措施
ELAD
Use of ELAD for up to 6 days to stabilize liver function plus standard of care treatment plus standard of care treatment. Standard of care for acute on chronic hepatitis patients including medications and treatments typically given to patients admitted with acute hepatitis (Pentoxifylline, corticosteroids, abdominal paracentesis, nutritional therapy, etc., if indicated)
干预措施: ELAD plus standard of care treatment (Biological)

结局指标
主要结局
Time to progression at which a 5-point or greater Model for End stage Liver Disease (MELD) score is recorded relative to baseline
时间窗: From Baseline up to Study Day 91
This is based on death or the first observed increase of at least 5 points from Baseline MELD score (whichever occurs earlier) at least 24 hours after the ELAD® Treatment Period is ended and up to Study Day 91 (90 days following Baseline).
次要结局
- Time to progression at which a 5-point or greater MELD score is recorded relative to baseline(From Baseline up to Study Day 91)
