With recruitment of trial subjects. Ultimately, we recruited only four patients to our institute, Kyoto University Hospital, for treatment with the initial dose of rh-HGF. Predicted adverse events included a decrease in BP, by dilatation of capacitance vessels, and proteinuria. Therefore, we established a stepwise infusion method to avoid a rapid reduction of BP, and confirmed reversibility of renal toxicity through additional preclinical studies. In this clinical trial, rh-HGF was administered intravenously

PT-INR, T-Bil, serum albumin, ALT and AFP, were measured before rh-HGF administration (day 1 of rh-HGF dosing); on day 7 of the rh-HGF dosing period; and one, seven and 14 days after the protocol therapy (days 1, 7 and 14 of the observation period, respectively). Laboratory data results were not affected during or after rh-HGF administration.complications caused by rh-HGF dosing were not observed. BP was gradually reduced during stepwise infusion of rh-HGF in three of the four patients,

In the first patient, when BP decreased during rh-HGF administration, 200-300 mL of infusion was sufficient to restore BP immediately; prior infusion ameliorated HGF-induced BP reduction, as observed in preclinical animal experiments (Figure 1C). In any event, the decrease in BP observed during HGF infusion was reversible, and did not affect patients' general condition. Although patients 2 and 3, but not 4, also exhibited BP reduction during rh-HGF infusion, their general condition was stable without additional infusion or
cessation of rh-HGF. Of particular importance, patient 2, who had awakened from hepatic encephalopathy, showed no symptom or sign during rh-HGF administration. Therefore, we

In this study, although two of four patients survived, there was no evidence that rh-HGF was effective in improving outcome of patients with FHSA or LOHF. There are three potential reasons for the failure of this trial to demonstrate the efficacy of rh-HGF in patients with FH or LOHF. First, the dose of rh-HGF and/or the 14-day treatment schedule used in this study might have been too low to produce beneficial effect. The dose chosen for this study was based on a scaling of the doses used in pre-clinical animal studies, and ensured safety in several repeated

Also, this dose, corresponding to 0.1 mg/kg in rodents, has been reported to accelerate liver regeneration in normal and partially hepatectomized rats [11]. Conversely, the treatment duration was based on a nationwide survey of FH and LOHF in Japan be.
