Contraceptive use by men and women should be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies.\n- 11. Willing and able to give signed informed consent, and if applicable assent, as described in Section 8.1, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the ICF and in this protocol.\n- 2. Participant confirms willingness/ability to comply with all study procedures.\n- 3. Diagnosis of liver cirrhosis based on at least one of: a. Clinical and radiological features that correlate with a diagnosis of cirrhosis. b. Transient elastography (Fibroscan®) >15 kPa. c. Previous liver biopsy confirming histological features of cirrhosis.\n- 4. Aetiology of liver disease of steatotic liver disease including MASLD or Met-ALD or ALD a. Participants with alcohol-related liver disease (ALD or Met-ALD) only if they are confirmed to not be drinking alcohol above Met-ALD limits defined in this protocol. (N.B. No more than 34% of the total treated participants in this protocol will be ALD [excludes Met-ALD]).\n- 5. Hospitalised as an inpatient for a recent major hepatic decompensation event including ascites, hepatic encephalopathy, variceal bleed, HRS-AKI or SBP, this being the only hospitalisation for an hepatic decompensation event hospitalisation within the last 6 months, and where recent is defined as within 6 weeks of hospital discharge OR\n- 6. Outpatient: Medically refractory ascites (ONLY), that recurs (i.e., second therapeutic LVP) within a 6-month period. Medically refractory ascites is defined by the repeated (≥2) need for LVP (i.e., therapeutic, not diagnostic) at least once per 8 weeks despite best medical attempts to control the ascites by sodium restriction and diuretic treatment, as confirmed by the Investigator. Onset is defined as the date of the second therapeutic LVP.\n- 7. Confirmatory PEth alcohol test <200 ng/ml\n- 8. MELD 3.0 score of 12-20 (inclusive) taken within 2 weeks of ‘qualifying’ decompensation event. If the participant qualifies as an outpatient then they must have a MELD 3.0 score of 12-20 (inclusive) at the time of the screening (Visit 1).\n- 9. No known contradictions to filgrastim or leukapheresis procedure."}
Exclusion criteria

Any current organ failure requiring more than outpatient supportive care, and not associated with the participant’s qualifying hepatic decompensation event.\n- 4. Known splenomegaly ≥16 cm.\n- 5.

Severe chronic lung disease e.g., chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or interstitial lung disease where the forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) is less than 50% and/or FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) is less than 60%. o. Hepatopulmonary syndrome. p. Previous or current treatment with long-term multiple infusions of albumin for therapeutic intent. [Use of albumin infusion at the time of large volume paracentesis for circulatory support is allowed.] q. Significant untreated/unstable psychiatric disease. r.
