A study on liver transplant for different liver diseases
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new way to see how well patients do after a liver transplant. It includes people with severe cirrhosis, other end-stage liver diseases, or liver cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study collects data from adults listed for liver transplants due to severe liver disease or liver cancer. It aims to improve transplant care by learning from real-world patient information.
This trial looks at liver transplant for people with advanced intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (a bile duct cancer inside the liver) when the cancer is not safely removable and stays controlled. It may help some patients live longer and with better quality of life by replacing the diseased liver—if strict safety and disease-stability requirements are met.
This trial is testing whether liver transplantation is safe and effective for people with liver cancer that has spread into the bile ducts (tumor thrombus). It may help patients whose only treatment option is a transplant.
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 trial tests if a liver transplant can help people with a certain type of bile duct cancer (intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma) that cannot be removed by surgery. Before the transplant, you would receive radiation therapy (SIRT) and chemotherapy to shrink the tumor.
This trial tests a two-step liver surgery approach for people with advanced (not fully removable) liver cancer or end-stage liver disease, using chemotherapy first when applicable. The goal is to see if this staged plan can better control disease and allow safer surgery.
