Recruiting studies
- NCT04493385Recruiting
Heart transplant after a hepatitis C–positive donor
This trial follows people who receive a heart from a donor whose blood tested positive for hepatitis C. It also includes people getting a heart transplant again, and it aims to learn about outcomes and safety for these specific transplant situations.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07683936RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Fecal transplant for brain issues after liver procedure
This trial tests if transferring healthy bacteria into your gut (fecal microbiota transplant) can help people who still get confusion episodes (hepatic encephalopathy) even after a TIPS procedure and while on standard medications like lactulose and rifaximin.
Xi'anAges 18–75 - NCT06717542Recruiting
Liver tissue analysis to predict transplant success
This study looks at liver tissue before transplantation to find ways to predict how well the transplant will work. It involves a special treatment called HOPE to help preserve the liver.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT05006430RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Fecal transplant study for severe alcoholic hepatitis safety
This trial tests whether fecal microbiota transplantation (a controlled transfer of stool bacteria) is safe in people with severe alcoholic hepatitis. It aims to see if the treatment is tolerable and what risks may come with it, in addition to watching how liver illness changes.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT04234139Enrolling by invitation
Study of severe alcoholic hepatitis patients before early liver transplant
This study follows people with severe alcoholic hepatitis who are being considered for an early liver transplant before they’ve been sober for 6 months. It aims to better understand this group’s situation and ethics/safety as early transplantation plans are made.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05793203Recruiting
Tests noninvasive checks to spot liver transplant complications early
This study looks at how well noninvasive tests (tests that don’t require surgery or taking tissue) can detect complications after a liver transplant. It may help patients and teams find problems earlier using safer, easier monitoring.
RomeAges 18–75 - NCT01644903Recruiting
Checking biomarkers after a liver transplant
This study follows people who are getting a liver transplant (including repeat transplants) to monitor changes in their body using test results. It may help doctors understand how patients are doing after transplant and improve care over time.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT04942886Enrolling by invitation
Preventing hepatitis B reactivation after stem cell transplant
This trial tests whether taking the antiviral medicine entecavir before and after a stem cell transplant can prevent hepatitis B from “waking up” again. It may help protect your liver during a high-risk treatment period.
SeoulAges 19–70 - NCT06911619Recruiting
Nutrition support for liver transplant patients
This study tests whether nutritional support can help reduce frailty in patients waiting for a liver transplant. It aims to improve strength and overall health before surgery.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT04246970Enrolling by invitation
Training program before and after liver transplant
This trial studies a structured exercise and training program before and after liver transplantation to help people recover better. You may be able to benefit if you’re getting an elective liver transplant and can safely participate in the training plan.
Valencia, ValenciaAges 18 years+ - NCT06455280RecruitingPhase 1
A study of Siplizumab for autoimmune liver disease patients awaiting transplant
This trial tests a drug called Siplizumab in people with autoimmune hepatitis or primary sclerosing cholangitis who are on the liver transplant waitlist. It aims to see if the drug can help manage their condition before and after transplant.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04446832Recruiting
Vaccine study for people waiting for liver transplant
This study tests a vaccine strategy for people who are being evaluated and waiting for a liver transplant. The goal is to see how well the immune system responds and how the results are interpreted before transplant.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT07189377RecruitingPhase 4
Light, ex-vivo treatment and antivirals for lungs from hepatitis B donors
This trial tests a new way to safely use donor lungs that carry the hepatitis B virus (HBV). It combines a special light treatment, ex-vivo lung perfusion (cleaning the lungs outside the body), and antiviral medicines to prevent infection in the recipient. If you are on the lung transplant list and have been vaccinated against hepatitis B, this study may help expand your donor options.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT03845205Recruiting
Liver transplant timing study for alcohol-related liver disease
This study compares early versus standard liver transplant timing for people whose liver illness was caused by alcohol use. It looks at treatment outcomes to see which approach helps patients do better.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05339984Recruiting
MRI-based planning during liver surgery and related procedures
This study uses MRI imaging and computer modeling to better plan liver surgery and related liver treatments. It may help doctors predict circulation (blood flow) changes during surgery and choose safer surgical timing or approaches.
Villejuif, Val de MarneAges 18 years+ - NCT07202910Recruiting
Validating liver imaging in children
This study tests if non-invasive imaging (like ultrasound) can replace liver biopsies in children with liver disease. It may help avoid the need for a needle biopsy in the future.
Gothenburg, Västra Götaland CountyAges Up to 25 years - NCT03383419RecruitingPhase 2
Hepatitis C–safe antiviral plan for heart transplant recipients
This Phase 2 trial tests giving newer hepatitis C medicines in a careful way to people getting a heart transplant who currently do not have hepatitis C in their blood. The goal is to lower hepatitis C infection risk from donated organs while keeping transplant outcomes safe.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT04014413Recruiting
Fecal transplant for gut and immune-related conditions
This trial studies whether fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT)—a medical procedure using stool from a screened donor to restore gut bacteria—can improve safety and outcomes for people with certain bowel, immune, and metabolic conditions. It may help if your symptoms are thought to be related to an unhealthy gut microbiome, though eligibility is broad and depends on specific safety factors.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for hepatic transplantation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 18 recruiting hepatic transplantation studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a hepatic transplantation trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a hepatic transplantation trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
