Training program before and after liver transplant
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial studies a structured exercise and training program before and after liver transplantation to help people recover better. You may be able to benefit if you’re getting an elective liver transplant and can safely participate in the training plan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for an elective liver transplant and your heart/lung check is acceptable for transplant
- You don’t have physical, movement, nerve, thinking, or language limits that would stop you from doing the program
- You can complete memory/thinking (psychometric) tests
- Your bleeding risk issues are controlled (for example, esophageal varices are treated, and certain high-risk varicose veins are not present)
- Your blood count and anemia level are not too low (hemoglobin is at least 80 g/L)
- You can safely do weight-bearing activity and you can attend and follow the program while hospitalized and after

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.
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.
This trial tests a new way to preserve donated livers before transplant, which may help people with severe liver disease get a transplant sooner. It may be an option for patients with certain cancers or urgent liver failure.
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.
This trial studies whether a “prehab” program—structured exercise and preparation—can help people keep up function while they are on chemotherapy for colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver. If you can safely exercise, the program may help you tolerate treatment and stay active.
This trial tests whether a structured exercise program before surgery helps improve recovery after converting unresectable liver cancer to a resectable state. If you are scheduled for conversion therapy, this program may strengthen your body for a smoother postoperative recovery.
