New study to reveal hidden pancreatic issues in alagille syndrome patients after transplant

NCT ID NCT07335523

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This study aims to find out how often exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) occurs in people with Alagille syndrome who have had a liver transplant. About 30 participants aged 7 to 50 will eat a high-fat diet and collect stool samples for lab testing. The results will help doctors better understand and manage digestive health in this group.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If this study succeeds, it could help doctors understand how often EPI occurs in Alagille syndrome patients after a liver transplant, leading to better diagnosis and care.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early observational study with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. It does not test a new treatment, so it won't directly improve health.
