Recruiting studies
- NCT07875595Recruiting
Immune markers for predicting problems after liver transplant
This study looks at blood markers of the immune system to see if they can predict complications after a liver transplant. It aims to help doctors personalize care and catch problems early.
Pilar, Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT07585890Recruiting
Liver Transplant Outcomes With Machine Preservation in Europe
This study collects information about how livers do after transplantation when they've been preserved using machine perfusion—a technique that keeps donor livers in better condition before surgery. Researchers want to understand which preservation methods work best to improve transplant success across Europe.
InnsbruckAges 18 years+ - NCT04477967Recruiting
Creating a liver transplant biobank for children
This trial sets up a long-term collection of medical information and samples from children who have had a liver transplant. It helps doctors study outcomes over time and improve care for future patients.
Chongqing, Chongqing MunicipalityAges 1 month–18 years - NCT04622540Recruiting
Study for living donor liver transplant patients
This study looks at living donor liver transplant care and follows patients for about 3 years to see how they do over time. If you had (or are scheduled for) a living donor liver transplant and can be followed long-term, this trial may be able to collect your outcomes.
SeoulAges 19–79 - NCT05763446Recruiting
Predicting heavy blood transfusion during liver transplant
This study looks for factors that can predict when a person might need a very large blood transfusion during a liver transplant. The results may help the transplant team prepare sooner and better manage transfusions during surgery.
RomeAges 18 years+ - NCT04616495Recruiting
Liver transplant for colorectal cancer that can’t be removed
This trial studies liver transplantation for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver but cannot be surgically removed. It aims to see if transplant can improve outcomes when the cancer is limited to the liver.
ValenciaAges 18–65 - NCT01479608Recruiting
Liver transplant for colon or rectal cancer liver spread
This trial studies whether a liver transplant can help people with colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver (but not elsewhere). It aims to improve outcomes by removing the diseased liver when the cancer has responded to chemotherapy and can still be controlled.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT06236568Recruiting
Liver transplant study for liver cancer patients
This study tests a special way to preserve donated livers before transplant to see if it reduces the chance of liver cancer coming back after surgery.
Modena, MOAges 18 years+ - NCT07735650Enrolling by invitation
Safe withdrawal of immune meds after liver transplant
This study tests whether long-term liver transplant recipients (5+ years after transplant) can safely stop or reduce their immunosuppressant medications by checking for donor cells (chimerism) in the liver. If you have stable liver function and agree to a liver biopsy, you may be able to join.
TaoyuanAges 20 years+ - NCT07739914RecruitingPhase 3
Switching anti-rejection medicine after a liver transplant
This trial tests whether switching from a standard anti-rejection medicine to a different one (everolimus) about a year after a liver transplant can help protect your new liver with fewer side effects. If you qualify, you will be monitored closely for a few years to see how well the new medicine works for you.
Heidelberg, Baden-WurttembergAges 18–80 - NCT07692490Recruiting
Avoiding cooling after warm machine perfusion for liver transplant
This study tests whether a donor liver kept on a special warm machine can be transplanted safely without needing to cool it down first. It is for adults receiving their first liver transplant who have stable liver disease (not acute failure).
AnconaAges 18 years+ - NCT07695363Recruiting
Restrictive fluids in liver transplant
This trial tests if giving less fluid during liver transplant surgery helps recovery. It is for adults with end-stage liver disease receiving a transplant.
Vancouver, British ColumbiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06533592Recruiting
Bile duct connection technique in liver transplant
This study compares two ways of connecting the bile duct during a liver transplant to see which leads to a smoother recovery. It is for adults having a planned first transplant from a deceased donor.
Warsaw, Masovian VoivodeshipAges 18–75 - NCT07660679Recruiting
Carotid ultrasound before liver transplant surgery
This study looks at whether measuring the thickness of the carotid artery (the main artery in the neck) before a planned liver transplant can help doctors predict and manage blood flow changes during surgery. It may help patients get safer care during their transplant.
DiyarbakırAges 18 years+ - NCT05475613RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy to shrink advanced liver cancer before transplant
This trial tests an immunotherapy “downstaging” plan to shrink hepatocellular carcinoma (a type of liver cancer) so it may become treatable with a liver transplant. You may be eligible if your cancer is beyond transplant limits but is still only in the liver, and you meet specific liver function and health requirements.
Guangzhou, GuangdongAges 18–75 - NCT07561138Recruiting
Nutrition and Exercise Training Before Liver Transplant
This study tests whether eating better and doing gentle exercise before your liver transplant can help you stay healthier and recover better after surgery. You'll work with a nutrition expert and exercise specialist to prepare your body for transplant.
Athens, AtticaAges 18–70 - NCT06749990Recruiting
Alcohol relapse risk after liver transplant
This study looks at why some people with alcohol-related liver disease start drinking again after a liver transplant. It aims to find factors that increase or decrease that risk.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT07519057Recruiting
Carbohydrate drink before liver transplant surgery
This study tests whether drinking a carbohydrate solution before planned liver transplant surgery helps patients recover better afterward. Researchers believe it may reduce complications and improve healing.
WarsawAges 18 years+ - NCT06782880Recruiting
Fecal transplant to prevent infections after liver transplant
This study tests if giving a fecal transplant (a procedure that transfers healthy bacteria from a donor's stool into your gut) before a liver transplant can lower the risk of serious infections after the surgery. It might help strengthen your immune system to fight off germs.
BolognaAges 18 years+ - NCT06808945Recruiting
Prehabilitation program for liver transplant patients
This study tests a pre-surgery exercise and nutrition program (prehabilitation) for people waiting for a liver transplant. It aims to see if getting stronger before surgery can help you recover better after the transplant.
RotterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT07414095Recruiting
Frailty assessment before liver transplant and outcomes
This study looks at how frail liver transplant candidates are before surgery and whether that affects their recovery afterward. Participants will complete simple physical and mental tasks to help doctors better understand their overall health before the transplant.
IzmirAges 18–65 - NCT07329296Enrolling by invitation
Liver regeneration after living donor transplant study
This study looks at how the donor's liver grows back after donating a part of it for a living donor liver transplant. If you have donated a part of your liver between 2004 and 2026, joining could help doctors learn more about liver healing.
Rotterdam, South HollandAges 18–60 - NCT07305012Recruiting
Healthy lifestyle tool for older liver and kidney transplant recipients
This study tests a new tool designed to help people aged 60 or older who have received a liver or kidney transplant improve their eating and physical activity habits. It aims to see if the tool is easy to use and helpful for maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

- Are there clinical trials for liver transplantation?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 194 recruiting liver 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 liver 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 liver 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.
