Recruiting studies
- NCT07414095Recruiting

This study builds a global registry that tracks how donor livers are matched and preserved for transplant. It may help improve how doctors keep donor livers viable before surgery by learning from real-world cases.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 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+ - 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+ - NCT07279350Recruiting
Health advocate support for children after liver transplant
This study tests whether having a health advocate helps families manage care for their child after a liver transplant. The advocate will provide support and resources to reduce stress and improve the child's recovery.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges birth–18 years - NCT04742621Recruiting
Liver transplant for colon cancer that spread only to the liver
This trial studies using a liver transplant to treat colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver but not anywhere else. It may help people with limited liver-only spread whose disease hasn’t worsened for a while.
New York, New YorkAges 18–65 - NCT05655273Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Switch tacrolimus timing after liver transplant to Envarsus
This trial looks at whether changing your maintenance anti-rejection medicine from Prograf (usually twice daily) to Envarsus (once daily) can help keep your liver and kidney function stable. It targets people who may be having kidney side effects, symptoms from tacrolimus, or trouble taking a twice-daily medicine.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18–99 - NCT06075745RecruitingPhase 2
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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18 years+ - NCT06354179RecruitingPhase 4
Once-daily immunosuppression after liver transplant
This study tests whether taking immunosuppressive drugs (tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil) just once a day, instead of twice, works as well for people who recently had a liver transplant. The goal is to make the medication schedule easier and possibly safer.
BesançonAges 18 years+ - NCT07530913Enrolling by invitation
Digital Rehabilitation Platform for Liver Transplant Patients
This study tests a smartphone or tablet-based exercise program designed to help people recovering from living donor liver transplant surgery. The goal is to see if using guided exercises on a digital device at home improves recovery and quality of life after transplant.
SeoulAges 20–65 - NCT06734013Recruiting
Genetic testing to help diagnose liver transplant rejection
This study looks at whether genetic testing of a tissue sample (biopsy) can help doctors more accurately diagnose rejection after a liver transplant. It is for people who have already been diagnosed with rejection and have a stored tissue sample available.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06857331Recruiting
Numbing block for pain after liver transplant
This trial tests a special numbing injection (erector spinae plane block) to help control pain after liver transplant surgery. It may be a good option if you have severe liver disease and need a transplant.
KyivAges Any age - NCT05953948Enrolling by invitation
Smartphone case management program for liver transplant patients
This trial studies whether an “intelligent” phone-based case management program can help people after a liver transplant. You may be able to participate if you’re a liver transplant recipient and can use a smartphone, but not if you have liver-related confusion.
Taoyuan, TYAges 20 years+ - NCT06660095Enrolling by invitation
Measuring p50 during liver transplant surgery
This study is testing a new way to measure something called 'p50' during liver transplant surgery to see if it can help doctors better manage your care. It is for people who are having a planned liver transplant and are in relatively stable but serious health condition.

Extended-release tacrolimus in stable child liver transplant recipients
This study tests an extended-release version of the anti-rejection drug tacrolimus in children who have already had a stable liver transplant. The goal is to see if the longer-acting capsule works as well as the immediate-release form, potentially simplifying daily medication routines.
ShanghaiAges 6 months–18 years - NCT04446832Recruiting
Vaccine study for people waiting for liver transplant

LyonAges 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 - NCT06400771RecruitingPhase 1
Safety of DNP007 in Healthy Volunteers
This study tests the safety of a new drug called DNP007 in healthy volunteers. It is a Phase 1 trial, meaning it's one of the first steps in humans to see if the drug is safe and how the body handles it.

Testing everolimus and epoetin for liver transplant tolerance
This trial is testing whether a combination of two drugs, everolimus and epoetin, can help liver transplant recipients gradually reduce their anti-rejection medicines. If successful, it may lead to long-term transplant tolerance with fewer side effects.

- How do I know if I qualify for a liver transplant 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 liver transplant 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.
