Liver transplant trial for colon cancer patients pulled before it started
NCT ID NCT05175092
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study planned to test whether a living donor liver transplant, after standard chemotherapy, could help people with colorectal cancer that spread to the liver and could not be surgically removed. It aimed to enroll 25 donor-recipient pairs. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no data was collected.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Living donor liver transplant (procedure)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a way to treat colorectal cancer that has spread to the liver and cannot be removed by surgery.
What could go wrong
The study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no results are available. Liver transplant carries major risks, and lifelong anti-rejection medication is needed.
