LIVER TRANSPLANTATION

This study tests a device that keeps donor livers cool and oxygenated before transplant, aiming to reduce early liver problems. About 215 first-time liver transplant patients will receive a liver preserved with this method. The goal is to see if it lowers the risk of early graft …

This study tests whether a home-based exercise program, guided remotely by a physical therapist, can help people who have had a liver transplant. The goal is to see if it improves their ability to exercise, muscle strength, fatigue, and quality of life. The study will involve 58 …

This study looks at whether combining local treatments (like targeted radiation or chemo beads) with newer drugs (anti-VEGF/TKIs and immune checkpoint inhibitors) can shrink liver tumors enough for patients to qualify for a transplant. Researchers will review records of 300 patie…

This study follows adults waiting for a liver transplant to see how their sleep quality changes from before surgery to six months after. Researchers use questionnaires to measure sleep, anxiety, and other factors. The goal is to understand what influences sleep problems in these …

This study looks at a simple idea: during a liver transplant, the first blood that flows into the new liver may contain harmful substances. By discarding that blood before connecting the liver to the patient's circulation, doctors hope to reduce heart, kidney, and liver problems.…

This large French study will follow 1,810 adults receiving their first liver transplant to see if the way the donor liver is removed affects outcomes. The main focus is on avoiding artery and bile duct complications for three years after transplant. The goal is to identify the be…

This study will observe 60 adult liver transplant patients in the ICU to understand why some develop dangerous blood flow instability. Researchers will measure heart function, blood vessel tone, and oxygen delivery to tissues. The goal is to identify different patterns of instabi…

This study will compare two types of liver transplants: auxiliary (where part of the patient's own liver is left in place) and living donor (where a portion of a donor's liver is used). Researchers will track 100 patients to see which approach leads to better survival, fewer comp…
