Vaccine study for people waiting for liver transplant
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a vaccine strategy for people who are being evaluated and waiting for a liver transplant. The goal is to see how well the immune system responds and how the results are interpreted before transplant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study develops a tool to predict which liver transplant patients might develop infections after surgery. By identifying high-risk patients early, doctors could provide extra monitoring or preventive care to improve outcomes.
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.
This trial tests a vaccine to prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in people awaiting a first liver transplant. You may be eligible if you have never been infected with CMV and are scheduled to receive a liver transplant within the next 1 to 12 months.
This trial tests an mRNA vaccine for people with liver cancer who are waiting for a liver transplant. The vaccine is given to help control the cancer while they wait.
This Phase 3 study tests whether the shingles vaccine Shingrix is safe and effective for adults with chronic kidney failure who are on the transplant waiting list. It aims to protect you from shingles while you may be dealing with transplant-related immune changes.
This study tests whether a special flu vaccine, designed for a future pandemic, works safely in people who have had an organ transplant. It aims to find a better way to protect transplant patients from severe flu.
