Composition for Treating Cirrhosis and Liver Cancer (SB-1121) (SB-1121)

November 4, 2026 updated by: Nguyen Thi Trieu, MD

Composition for Treating Cirrhosis and Liver Cancer

The composition treats cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (Hcc) at an early stage. The product is extracted from herbs, including Adenosma glutinosum extract, Eclipta prostrata extract, Phyllanthus urinaria extract, Impatiens balsamina extract, Ascorbic acid, pyridoxine 5-phosphate, L-Arginine hydrochloride, Pregnenolone acetate. These components have participated in repairing and regenerating new liver parenchyma, preventing fibrosis cell generation, preventing liver cancer cell growth at an early stage. The composition supplements precursors which help the body strengthen antibodies and reduce the risk of inflammation, restore physiological and biochemical functions of liver cells after chronic inflammation.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The composition is fractionally extracted from herbs. Flavonoids, isoflavonoids, and pregnenolone combined with ascorbic acid, pyridoxine 5-phosphate, L-arginine act as the key compounds in the regeneration of fibrosis liver cells, remove scar tissue, stimulate and release growth hormones, prevent progression to Hcc and prevent Hcc recurrence.

The pharmaceutical ingredients involved in the composition are calculated to increase their effectiveness in preventing and curing cirrhosis and Hcc.

Currently, many preparations have been and are being studied to fight against cirrhosis and liver cancer globally. The effectiveness of this preparation is a new finding which has been proven over 5 years of follow-up.

Pregnenolone is a cortisol precursor. Cortisol plays an important role in several systems in the body, including the immune system(in the cycle of the immune system to produce B lymphocytes). This ingredient is used as a supplement to stabilize the endothelium, regulate the amount of cortisol within normal limits, and help the body produce B lymphocytes with a good response.

Kaempferol is a flavonoid that participates in cell protection against toxic proteins which were produced during prolonged inflammation; blocking the action and removing denatured proteins that change the parenchyma of liver cells. The selected flavonoids repaired the fibrotic structure of liver parenchyma after chronic inflammation. Ascorbic acid, pyridoxine 5-phosphate, and L-arginine help to facilitate biological functions in cell adhesion, synergize with flavonoids in cell membrane protection, structural repair, and liver cell regeneration.

Ascorbic acid, pyridoxine 5-phosphate act as enzymes that catalyze processes conveniently.

Study Type

Study Type

Interventional

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

24

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.
  • Phase 4

Expanded Access

Expanded Access

A way for patients with serious diseases or conditions who cannot participate in a clinical trial to gain access to a medical product that has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Also called compassionate use. There are different expanded access types.
Approved

Approved

  • Available: Expanded access is currently available for this investigational treatment, and patients who are not participants in the clinical study may be able to gain access to the drug, biologic, or medical device being studied.
  • No longer available: Expanded access was available for this intervention previously but is not currently available and will not be available in the future.
  • Temporarily not available: Expanded access is not currently available for this intervention but is expected to be available in the future.
  • Approved for marketing: The intervention has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use by the public.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Liver Stiffness Measurement (LSM)
Time Frame: 36 months

Liver stiffness is assessed by transient elastography to evaluate the degree of cirrhosis. Higher values indicate greater tissue stiffness. This measure reports the absolute liver stiffness values at the 36-month time point.
36 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Liver Stiffness Measurement (LSM) for HCC Group
Time Frame: 36 months

Liver stiffness is assessed by transient elastography to evaluate tissue changes. This secondary outcome specifically analyzes the subgroup of participants who presented with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) within the study arms.
