Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a novel bioartificial liver (CiPS-BAL) in patients with liver failure or small-for-size syndrome. The study will also collect preliminary data on clinical outcomes and laboratory parameters during treatment. The main questions it aims to answer are: Is the novel bioartificial liver system safe and well tolerated in patients with liver failure or small-for-size syndrome? What effects does the treatment have on liver function and other clinical and laboratory indicators? Researchers will treat participants with the CiPS-BAL system, which uses hepatocytes derived from chemically induced pluripotent stem cells (CiPS) within a bioartificial liver device.
