Liver transplant study for liver cancer patients
Part of Cancer, Digestive system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have liver cancer that meets specific size and number criteria (Milan criteria).

- You are in good enough health to be up and taking care of yourself (ECOG 0-2).

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 study tests a new way to preserve donated livers using a machine that keeps the organ cool and oxygenated before transplant. It may help improve how well the liver works after the surgery.
This trial tests a new way to treat liver cancer by first transplanting part of a donor liver while keeping most of the original liver, then removing the remaining cancer later. It may help patients with liver cancer who need a transplant but have limited options.
This study is looking at whether a liver transplant can help people who have liver cancer that has spread into the bile ducts, which are the tubes that carry bile from the liver. We want to see if this surgery is safe and how well it works for these patients.
This study looks at liver tissue before transplantation to find ways to predict how well the transplant will work. It involves a special treatment called HOPE to help preserve the liver.
This trial tests a special machine that keeps donated livers healthy before they're transplanted. It aims to improve transplant success and help more people receive a liver.
