Liver tissue analysis to predict transplant success
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The donor must provide enough liver tissue for testing.
- The liver must be treated with HOPE before transplant.
- The recipient must be 18 years or older.
- The recipient must also provide enough liver tissue for testing.

This study looks at whether genetic testing of a tissue sample (biopsy) can help doctors more accurately diagnose rejection after a liver transplant. It is for people who have already been diagnosed with rejection and have a stored tissue sample available.
This study is testing whether a quick look at small liver samples during cold machine perfusion can help doctors tell if the organ is healthy enough for transplant. If it works, this method could improve transplant success by catching problems early.
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 checks whether a special blood test can predict who is at higher risk of graft loss (the transplanted liver not working well) and death after a liver transplant. It may help doctors identify higher-risk patients earlier and tailor follow-up care.
This study tests a special way of preserving donated livers, called HOPE, to see if it lowers the chance of liver cancer coming back after a liver transplant. If you have liver cancer and are waiting for a transplant, this trial might be an option for you.
This study looks at how well noninvasive tests (tests that don’t require surgery or taking tissue) can detect complications after a liver transplant. It may help patients and teams find problems earlier using safer, easier monitoring.
