Liver transplant kids test cutting meds in half
NCT ID NCT07549503
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether children who received a liver transplant before age 7 can safely cut their anti-rejection drugs by 50%. One hundred kids will slowly reduce their medication over 18 months, with frequent blood tests and liver biopsies to check for rejection. The goal is to see if lower doses can keep the liver healthy while reducing side effects.
