Recruiting studies in North Carolina
- NCT05082077Enrolling by invitation
Liver transplant preservation registry
This study tracks how donated livers are preserved and matched to recipients during liver transplants. It aims to improve how donor livers are kept and used, which may help more people get successful transplants.

CMV Vaccine Study for Liver Transplant Candidates
This trial tests a vaccine to prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in people awaiting a first liver transplant. You may be eligible if you have never been infected with CMV and are scheduled to receive a liver transplant within the next 1 to 12 months.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT06280950RecruitingPhase 2
Lowering immunosuppression after liver transplant with everolimus
This study tests whether adding the drug everolimus can safely reduce the amount of tacrolimus (an anti-rejection medicine) needed after a first liver transplant. This may help protect your kidneys while still preventing organ rejection.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT03310905Recruiting
Abdominal wall transplant for people needing multi-organ transplant
This study evaluates an abdominal wall transplant (replacing the front belly/tissue) done along with another organ transplant. It may help people who need a specialized transplant approach, but it’s only for certain candidates at Duke who meet strict safety and cancer, pregnancy, and anesthesia requirements.

Liver transplant registry using a special machine before surgery
This is a registry that collects information about liver transplant recipients. It helps researchers understand outcomes related to a specific liver “perfusion” process used around the time of transplant.

What taking part in a liver transplant study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
