Edmonton, AlbertaAges 18 years+ - NCT05308628Recruiting
Tests for liver scar (fibrosis) in children after liver transplant
This study checks how well a liver “fibrosis panel” test can evaluate scarring in children who have had their first liver transplant. Your child may be helped by getting extra monitoring of liver scarring, and the study may improve how doctors assess recovery and risk over time.
ShanghaiAges 2 months–18 years - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06535945RecruitingPhase 4
Albumin to protect kidney function after liver transplant
This trial tests whether giving albumin (a protein in your blood) after a liver transplant can help prevent or reduce kidney damage. It is for adults receiving their first liver-only transplant from a deceased donor.
Chambray-lès-ToursAges 18 years+ - NCT06749405Recruiting
Using Quantra to Guide Transfusions During Liver Transplant
This study tests a special tool called Quantra, which helps doctors decide when to give blood products during your liver transplant. The goal is to make sure you get just the right amount of transfusions, which could improve your safety and recovery.
ToulouseAges 18 years+ - NCT06850753Recruiting
En bloc removal of liver and pancreas with transplant for bile duct cancer
This trial tests a new surgical approach that removes the liver, pancreas, and bile duct all at once (and then gives a liver transplant) for people with a type of bile duct cancer that cannot be removed with standard surgery. It may help people whose cancer is limited to the liver area and who have not responded to other treatments.
OsloAges 18–70 - NCT06950788Recruiting
Glucose changes in cirrhosis patients around liver transplant
This study looks at how the body processes sugar (glucose) in people with cirrhosis who are waiting for a liver transplant. It aims to track changes in blood sugar control before and after transplant, which may help improve care for patients with liver disease.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–75 - NCT06958796RecruitingPhase 4
CMV immunoglobulin to prevent disease after transplant
This trial tests whether giving CMV immunoglobulin (an antibody medicine) after transplant can help prevent a serious CMV infection in people who receive a kidney or liver from a CMV-positive donor. You might be eligible if you are getting one of these transplants and are at high risk for CMV.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–75 - NCT07053488RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Gene-edited liver transplant to lower rejection risk
This trial tests a liver transplant using a donor organ that has been gene-edited to reduce the risk of rejection. It may help people who need a liver transplant and are not a perfect tissue match with their donor.
Beijing, ChangpingAges 16–85 - NCT07157631Recruiting
Tranexamic acid for adults having liver transplant
This trial tests if tranexamic acid, a medicine that helps blood clot, can safely reduce bleeding during adult liver transplant surgery.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07216508Recruiting
Liver Transplant Blood Sugar Monitoring Study
This study tests whether a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) can help manage blood sugar levels in patients who have just received a liver transplant and have high blood sugar in the hospital.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07269041RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immune tolerance after liver transplant
This trial tests a way to help your body accept your liver transplant without needing lifelong anti-rejection drugs. It uses your living donor's stem cells to train your immune system to not attack the new liver.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07291258Recruiting
Long-term health study of children born to transplant mothers
This study follows children born to mothers who had a solid organ transplant (like kidney, liver, or heart) to learn about their long-term health. It may help doctors understand how to better care for these families.
