Liver transplant study for severe worsening liver failure
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re 18 years or older.
- You have been diagnosed with cirrhosis (scarring of the liver).
- You were hospitalized because your cirrhosis suddenly got worse and you were referred to a transplant team.
- Your case fits one of these transplant situations: listed with severe acute-on-chronic liver failure, or listed with advanced poor liver function, or being assessed but not ultimately listed.
- You (or a trusted person if you can’t speak for yourself) can give informed consent.

This study looks at patients with cirrhosis who are admitted to the intensive care unit with acute-on-chronic liver failure. It aims to understand and improve care for this serious condition using a standard scoring system.
This trial studies whether using an “ex vivo perfusion” process—keeping a donor liver alive outside the body before transplant—can improve outcomes for certain people who need a liver transplant but have limited options. It may help patients who are too high-risk for standard transplant timing or options, including some cancer-related liver disease cases.
This early-phase study tests whether stem cells (called mesenchymal stem cells) are safe and can help people with a sudden, severe liver failure. You may qualify if your liver is failing quickly and you are not eligible for a transplant.
This study tests whether a special way of moving blood through the donor abdomen before surgery can improve liver (and other organ) transplant quality. It may help because doctors can check how well the liver seems to be working before it’s actually used.
This study is for people with end-stage cirrhosis who are on the liver transplant waitlist at this hospital. It aims to understand how getting a liver transplant may affect people with and without diabetes-related issues.
This study uses different scoring systems to predict how well patients with cirrhosis will do while waiting for a liver transplant. It helps doctors understand which patients are most likely to benefit from the transplant.
