Recruiting studies
- NCT07530913Enrolling by invitation
Digital Rehabilitation Platform for Liver Transplant Patients
This study tests a smartphone or tablet-based exercise program designed to help people recovering from living donor liver transplant surgery. The goal is to see if using guided exercises on a digital device at home improves recovery and quality of life after transplant.
SeoulAges 20–65 - NCT06341543Recruiting
CMV blood test to guide treatment after organ transplant
This study uses a blood test (QuantiFERON-CMV) to help decide whether people with a silent (no symptoms) CMV infection after a solid organ transplant need treatment. If you have a low-to-moderate level of CMV in your blood without fever or organ issues, this trial may help your doctor choose the safest approach.
Grenoble, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07607873Recruiting
Transplant vs surgery after chemo for liver-only colorectal cancer
This trial compares liver transplant versus liver surgery for people whose colorectal cancer has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed initially. You would first receive chemotherapy to shrink the tumors, and if they become removable, you may be randomly assigned to have a liver transplant or standard liver surgery.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06048445Recruiting
Preventing bile duct issues after children's liver transplant
This trial tests placing a temporary drainage stent during liver transplant surgery in children to see if it helps prevent bile duct complications. It might improve recovery for young transplant recipients.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 1–6 - NCT05248581Recruiting
Living donor liver transplant for unresectable colon cancer spread
This trial looks at using a living donor liver transplant for people whose colon or rectal cancer has spread to the liver in a way that can’t be removed with standard surgery. It may help if you might otherwise have limited options because your liver surgery would be too risky.
Rochester, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04595864RecruitingPhase 3
Chemotherapy into the liver before transplant for liver cancer
This trial tests whether giving chemotherapy directly into the liver blood supply before a liver transplant can help people with liver cancer that is beyond standard transplant criteria. It may help lower cancer risk around the time of transplant while keeping people healthy enough to receive the transplant.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–75 - NCT04613921Recruiting
Liver transplant study for severe worsening liver failure
This study looks at when liver transplant is offered and what outcomes happen in people with cirrhosis who have severe “acute-on-chronic” worsening. It may help doctors decide which patients benefit most from transplant and improve care after listing or not listing.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06060392Recruiting
Semaglutide pill for liver fat in transplant patients with diabetes
This study tests if an oral semaglutide pill can reduce liver fat and improve body composition in people who have had a liver transplant and have diabetes. It may help manage weight and blood sugar after transplant.
Gurgaon, HaryanaAges 30 years+ - NCT05185245Recruiting
Liver transplant for colorectal cancer spread to the liver
This study looks at whether a liver transplant can help people whose colorectal cancer has spread to the liver but cannot be removed by surgery. It also checks whether certain cancer features, treatment history, and blood/health status make transplant safer or more effective.
BolognaAges 18–73 - NCT05398380Recruiting
Liver transplant for colorectal liver cancer that can’t be removed
This trial studies liver transplantation for certain people with colorectal cancer that has spread only to the liver and cannot be removed with surgery. It aims to improve outcomes for carefully selected patients whose cancer is controlled on chemotherapy and who meet specific safety and scan requirements.
Barcelona, BarcelonaAges 18–70 - NCT07870811Recruiting
Wellness program to improve quality of life after organ transplant
This study tests a program of exercise, education, and other non-drug activities to help people who have had an organ transplant feel better and improve their daily lives. It is for people who are at least one year past their transplant and have some quality-of-life concerns.
Palermo, PalermoAges 25–65 - NCT07102550RecruitingPhase 2
Amniotic tissue for bile duct repair in living donor liver transplant
This trial tests whether using amniotic tissue during bile duct connection surgery can improve outcomes for people receiving a liver transplant from a living donor.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT06905054RecruitingPhase 2
Preventing PSC recurrence after liver transplant
This trial tests whether fenofibrate can prevent primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) from coming back after a liver transplant. It is for adults who had a liver transplant for PSC between 1 and 7 years ago and have certain risk factors.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT07703735Enrolling by invitation
Survival after ABO-mismatch living donor liver transplant for liver cancer
This trial looks at how well patients with liver cancer do after receiving a living donor liver transplant that is not the same blood type. It compares survival and cancer return for these patients.
Ages 18 years+ - NCT06344442RecruitingPhase 3
Low-dose vasopressin for kidney protection after liver transplant
This trial tests whether giving a low dose of a hormone called vasopressin after a liver transplant can help prevent kidney injury. It's for adults scheduled for a planned liver transplant.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT07397598Recruiting
Peer support after liver transplant for alcohol-related disease
This study tests whether having a peer supporter who has been through liver transplant for alcohol-related disease helps you stay alcohol-free and feel supported. It may be a good fit if you are in early recovery after transplant.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07288281Recruiting
Preoperative Clear Fluid Fasting in Liver Transplant

Leuven, Vlaams-BrabantAges 18 years+ - NCT06280950RecruitingPhase 2
Lowering immunosuppression after liver transplant with everolimus
This study tests whether adding the drug everolimus can safely reduce the amount of tacrolimus (an anti-rejection medicine) needed after a first liver transplant. This may help protect your kidneys while still preventing organ rejection.

- 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.
