BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06698146Recruiting
Liver transplant for colorectal cancer that spread to the liver
This trial tests a special approach for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver: first removing the liver tumor, then doing a partial liver transplant, and later removing more liver tissue. The goal is to see if this can help people who otherwise have limited options.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06890234Enrolling by invitation
Monitoring liver grafts with a tiny probe during transplant
This study uses a tiny probe placed in the new liver during transplant surgery to monitor its health in real time. It may help doctors detect problems early and improve recovery after transplant.
Ljubljana, SloveniaAges 18–65 - NCT01733082Recruiting
Mycophenolate pregnancy registry for mothers in the U.S.
This study collects information about pregnancies where a mother took mycophenolate during pregnancy (or stopped within the prior 6 weeks). It aims to better understand pregnancy outcomes and risks so care can be improved for future patients.
Cambridge, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT03193151Recruiting
Microarray testing to guide care after liver transplant
This study looks at how special lab tests from tiny tissue samples (microarrays) could help guide diagnosis and treatment in people who receive a liver transplant. It may help doctors better understand what’s going on and choose care more accurately.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03494946Recruiting
Liver transplant vs chemotherapy for colon cancer liver spread
This trial compares liver transplantation to standard chemotherapy for people with colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver but cannot be removed surgically. It looks at whether transplant can help patients live longer or better than chemotherapy in the right patients.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT03488953Recruiting
Two-step liver surgery using a living donor transplant
This study looks at a specialized liver transplant approach using a living donor, for people with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed by standard surgery. It’s meant for cases where chemotherapy has helped stop or shrink the tumors, to improve the chance of successful treatment.
JenaAges 18 years+ - NCT02215889RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Partial liver transplant for colon or rectal cancer spread to liver
This trial tests whether transplanting part of the liver can help people with colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver but cannot be removed with surgery. It also aims to make sure the cancer is limited mainly to the liver and that you are healthy enough for major treatment.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT06781502Recruiting
Liver Disease and Transplant Study
This study is creating a database of people with severe liver problems or who have had a liver transplant. The goal is to learn more about these conditions and improve care.
Bologna, BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06534840Recruiting
Predicting lung problems after liver transplant
This study uses a computer program to predict lung problems after a liver transplant. It may help doctors better care for people like you.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–80 - NCT06254248RecruitingPhase 2
Safety of two cancer drugs after liver transplant
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (atezolizumab and bevacizumab) for people whose liver cancer has returned after a liver transplant and cannot be treated with surgery or other local procedures. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe for liver transplant recipients.
ClichyAges 18–90 - NCT06682325Recruiting
Liver transplant drug interaction study
This study looks at how different medicines interact with each other in people who receive a new liver. By analyzing your blood samples and medical records, researchers hope to make your medication safer and more effective after transplant.
Santiago, Santiago MetropolitanAges 18 years+ - NCT04932577RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Fecal transplant to treat complications of liver cirrhosis
This trial studies whether transferring healthy gut bacteria (from a donor sample) can improve outcomes for people with liver cirrhosis who have worsening complications. It may help by changing the gut microbiome, which can influence inflammation and liver health.
AarhusAges 18–75 - NCT05170971Recruiting
Fecal transplant trial for worsening liver failure
This trial studies fecal microbiota transplantation (a transfer of healthy gut bacteria from a donor) to help people with worsening liver failure. It may help by changing gut bacteria, which can affect complications like confusion, fluid buildup, infections, and kidney problems.
Ningbo, ZhejiangAges 18–65 - NCT07247877Enrolling by invitation
Study of small liver grafts for portal hypertension treatment
This trial explores using smaller liver grafts in a partial transplant to treat portal hypertension, which may help patients avoid full transplant risks. It compares this approach to standard liver transplant.
Ages 14 years+ - NCT05866783Recruiting
Blood test to predict cancer coming back after liver transplant
This study uses a blood test (looking at sugars in the blood) to help predict whether liver cancer will come back after a liver transplant. It may help doctors monitor you more accurately and earlier if cancer returns.
GhentAges 18 years+ - NCT04204850RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib for liver cancer that returns after liver transplant
This trial studies cabozantinib, a cancer medicine, for liver cancer that has come back after a liver transplant. It’s for people whose cancer can’t be cured with more surgery or local procedures, to see if the treatment can help control the disease.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05940857Recruiting
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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - NCT06716541Recruiting
Biodegradable stent for bile duct narrowing after liver transplant
This study is testing a special temporary stent that breaks down over time to help open a narrowed bile duct after a liver transplant. It may help avoid long-term plastic stents or additional surgery.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for liver transplant?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 200 recruiting liver transplant 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 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.
