Liver transplant after preserving a donated liver
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have a serious liver condition that needs a transplant, such as colorectal cancer spread to the liver, liver cancer, bile duct cancer, or sudden liver failure
- Other standard treatments have stopped working or caused too many side effects
- You are generally well enough (able to care for yourself, not bedridden)
- You have acceptable blood test results that show your liver and overall health are okay

This trial studies liver transplantation for people with colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver but cannot be surgically removed. It aims to see if transplant can improve outcomes when the cancer is limited to the liver.
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.
This trial compares liver transplantation to standard chemotherapy for people with colon or rectal cancer that has spread to the liver but cannot be removed surgically. It looks at whether transplant can help patients live longer or better than chemotherapy in the right patients.
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.
This study tests a special way to preserve donated livers before transplant to see if it reduces the chance of liver cancer coming back after surgery.
This study combines two surgeries—first removing part of the tumor, then a liver transplant—for patients with advanced liver cancer or liver failure. It aims to offer a chance for cure when standard treatments are not possible.
