Everolimus after liver transplant to lower liver cancer return
Treatments studied
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies whether everolimus, a transplant medicine, can safely reduce the chance that liver cancer comes back after liver transplant. It compares how well the treatment works while carefully monitoring side effects and safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial is testing whether a combination of two drugs, everolimus and epoetin, can help liver transplant recipients gradually reduce their anti-rejection medicines. If successful, it may lead to long-term transplant tolerance with fewer side effects.
This trial tests whether the drug everolimus can help prevent liver cancer from coming back after surgery. It is for people with high-risk liver cancer who have had their tumor completely removed.
This trial tests if switching from a standard anti-rejection medicine to everolimus is safe and effective for liver transplant patients. It may help protect kidney function while preventing organ rejection.
This study tests if adding everolimus can allow liver transplant recipients to safely reduce their usual immune-suppressing medicines. It aims to protect kidney function while preventing organ rejection.
This trial studies whether everolimus can improve outcomes for people whose kidney transplant biopsy shows signs of a specific type of immune attack. It focuses on patients without certain antibodies and with particular biopsy findings, aiming to prevent rejection-related injury while balancing medication side effects.
This trial tests a combination of two drugs (atezolizumab and bevacizumab) for people whose liver cancer has returned after a liver transplant and cannot be treated with surgery or other local procedures. The goal is to see if this treatment is safe for liver transplant recipients.
