Recruiting studies
- NCT06767579Recruiting
Comparing Delirium Risk After Liver Transplant: Inhaled vs. IV Anesthesia

SeoulAges 19 years+ - NCT07715500Recruiting
MRI of Bile Ducts in Living Liver Donors
This study uses an MRI scan to look at the bile ducts in healthy people who want to donate part of their liver. The goal is to see if the scan can help predict and prevent bile duct problems for the person receiving the liver.
New DelhiAges 18–55 - 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 - NCT05276037Recruiting
PET/CT scan to guide liver transplant decisions in liver cancer
This trial studies how a whole-body PET/CT scan using a “tracer” called 18F-FDG can help decide which people with liver cancer (HCC) may benefit from a liver transplant. It may help the transplant team better sort out who is likely to do well after transplant.
AntwerpAges 18–80 - NCT05981196Recruiting
Understanding disparities in liver transplant patients
This study looks at differences in health care and outcomes among people waiting for a liver transplant. It aims to understand why some patients face more challenges than others.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–65 - NCT07611721Recruiting
Testing a glucose monitor in critically ill surgery patients
This study tests whether a wearable glucose monitor (Dexcom G7) works well in patients in intensive care after major abdominal surgery or organ transplant who need insulin therapy. The monitor measures blood sugar continuously to help doctors manage insulin doses more safely.
PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT06088758Recruiting
Preserving fatty livers with a machine for transplant
This study tests a new way to preserve donated livers that have extra fat (steatotic livers) using a special machine that keeps the liver healthy outside the body. If successful, it could allow more livers to be used for transplantation, helping people on the waiting list get a transplant sooner.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–80 - NCT06342557Recruiting
App-Based Health Diary for Young Liver Transplant Patients
This study uses an app (ePRO Diary) to track your health after a liver transplant or while waiting for one. It’s designed for young people between 14 and 20 years old who are moving from pediatric to adult care.
Bergamo, MILANOAges 14–20 - NCT06327308RecruitingPhase 1
MRI study for heart health in liver transplant candidates
This study uses a special heart MRI to check for a heart condition called cirrhotic cardiomyopathy in people waiting for a liver transplant. The results may help doctors better understand and treat heart problems in patients with cirrhosis.
BesançonAges 18–70 - NCT07480057Recruiting
Bone health changes after liver transplant
This study tracks how liver transplantation affects your bone density and mineral metabolism. It aims to find changes early, which can help prevent fractures later.
New Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 18 years+ - NCT05717842Recruiting
Kidney and liver transplant candidates get a scan at surgery
This trial studies whether a specific scan taken around the time of a combined liver-and-kidney transplant can help doctors assess the kidney(s) that will be used. You might be eligible if you are already listed for both transplants and can safely complete the scan.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 18 years+ - NCT06353126RecruitingPhase 4
Chemoembolization before liver transplant for liver cancer
This trial tests whether using chemotherapy beads delivered directly to the liver (DEB-TACE) before a living donor liver transplant improves outcomes for people with liver cancer. If you have a tumor in the right side of the liver that fits certain size and number limits, and you are already scheduled for a transplant, this study may be an option.
ShanghaiAges 18–75 - NCT07268196Recruiting
How a liver transplant affects sexual function
This study looks at how a liver transplant affects a person's sex life and sexual function. It includes married men who either are waiting for a transplant or have already had one with a healthy working liver.
New Delhi, National Capital Territory of DelhiAges 18–60 - NCT07549503RecruitingPhase 2
Liver Transplant Immune Changes Study
This research study tracks early signs of immune system changes in children who received a liver transplant 3–7 years ago and are doing well. By studying blood and liver samples, researchers hope to better understand how to prevent rejection and improve long-term transplant survival.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 3–13 - NCT05727722RecruitingPhase 1
Micro-packaged liver cell transplant for adult liver failure
This Phase 1 study tests a new way to place liver cells (in small protective “micro-packages”) inside the belly to treat liver failure. It aims to see whether the treatment is safe and potentially helps liver function in adults with worsening chronic or acute-on-chronic liver failure.
ShanghaiAges 18–65 - NCT03627013RecruitingPhase 3
Compare two transplant fluid solutions for kidney, liver, pancreas
This Phase 3 study compares two types of transplant fluid (Custodiol-N vs Custodiol) to protect organs while they are stored before surgery. It may help by reducing damage to the kidney, liver, or pancreas during transplant preparation.
GrazAges 18 years+ - NCT07028112Recruiting
Iron and liver health after stem cell transplant
This study looks at how too much iron in the body (from past transfusions) affects the liver in people who had a stem cell transplant at least 10 years ago. It will help doctors understand who needs special monitoring for liver problems.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06609772Recruiting
Pain education for liver donors after surgery
This trial tests an individualised pain education program to see if it can reduce chronic pain and improve quality of life for living liver donors after their surgery.
Malatya, BattalgaziAges Any age - 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+ - NCT07086989Recruiting
Heart health study for kids with chronic conditions
This study looks at heart disease risk in children and young adults (ages 6-25) with long-term health conditions like certain heart, kidney, or diabetes disorders. The goal is to better understand and manage heart risks early.
BudapestAges 6–25 - NCT07111221Recruiting
Reducing bleeding risk before liver transplant
This trial tests a procedure to lower blood loss during liver transplant for patients with high blood pressure in the liver. It may help those who have had a previous transplant, abdominal surgery, or certain complications of liver disease.
WarsawAges 18 years+ - NCT06367244Recruiting

CytoSorb registry for critically ill patients needing blood treatment
This registry collects information about critically ill patients who receive the CytoSorb 300 mL blood treatment. It may help doctors better understand when the treatment works best and when it should not be used.

- 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.
