Liver tissue analysis to predict transplant success
Part of Digestive system, Immune system & allergy 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 looks at new ways to check if a donated liver is healthy before transplantation. By examining tiny tissue samples taken before and after a special cold perfusion treatment, researchers hope to find better markers that predict how well the liver will work after transplant.
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 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.
