San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–25 - 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+ - NCT06257407Recruiting
Managing bleeding during and after liver transplant
This trial studies how doctors manage bleeding before, during, and after liver transplant surgery. The goal is to improve safety and outcomes for people receiving a new liver.
BesançonAges 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+ - NCT06215404Recruiting
Fluid management during liver transplant for less blood loss
This trial tests different ways of managing fluids during liver transplant surgery to see if it can reduce blood loss. It may be helpful for patients with end-stage liver disease who are waiting for a transplant.
TaipeiAges 18–75 - NCT06169592Recruiting
Bleeding and Clotting Risks After Living Donor Liver Transplant
This study is for people with severe liver cirrhosis who are getting a liver transplant from a living donor. It looks at the risk of bleeding or clotting problems after the transplant, to help doctors better manage these risks.
TashkentAges 18–70 - NCT06130046Recruiting
Study of MR-proADM as a biomarker for kidney and liver transplant
This trial is testing a simple blood biomarker called MR-proADM to see if it can help doctors detect early signs of transplant rejection or poor kidney function after a kidney or liver transplant.
RomeAges 18–70 - NCT05899231Recruiting
Online strengthening program while you wait for a liver transplant
This trial tests an online prehabilitation program (strength and fitness training delivered digitally) to help people who are likely to need a liver transplant become stronger before transplant. It may benefit people who feel “frail” or “pre-frail,” since improving strength before surgery can help recovery.
Calgary, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05866796Recruiting
Test blood patterns to predict problems after liver transplant
This study checks whether a special blood test can predict who is at higher risk of graft loss (the transplanted liver not working well) and death after a liver transplant. It may help doctors identify higher-risk patients earlier and tailor follow-up care.
Ghent, FlandersAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT05761483Recruiting
Endoscopic treatment for bile duct narrowing after liver transplant
This trial tests an endoscopic (camera-based) approach to treat bile duct narrowing that happens after a liver transplant. It may help improve bile flow and liver blood test results when the narrowing is in the bile duct area near where the liver’s bile ducts split.
Roma, RMAges 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+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT05339984Recruiting
MRI-based planning during liver surgery and related procedures
This study uses MRI imaging and computer modeling to better plan liver surgery and related liver treatments. It may help doctors predict circulation (blood flow) changes during surgery and choose safer surgical timing or approaches.
Villejuif, Val de MarneAges 18 years+ - NCT05224583Enrolling by invitation
Study BK virus after combined liver and kidney transplant
This study looks at how often BK virus shows up in people after a combined liver-kidney transplant. It may help the transplant team better predict and manage this virus after surgery.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–100 - NCT05242315RecruitingPhase 4
Long-acting tacrolimus after liver transplant
This trial studies whether taking an extended-release form of tacrolimus (a medicine to prevent transplant rejection) after a liver transplant works well for people who are followed at the University of Alberta. It may help simplify dosing and monitor safety and effectiveness after transplant.
Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05186116Recruiting
Liver transplant for colon cancer that cannot be removed
This trial studies whether liver transplant (rather than removing the liver tumors) can help some people with colon or rectal cancer spread to the liver. It’s meant for people whose cancer has responded or stayed controlled on standard treatments and who have no cancer outside the liver.
Modena, MOAges 18–77 - 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges Any age - 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 - 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 - NCT04672863Recruiting
Mediterranean diet after a first liver transplant
