Liver transplant breakthrough: could this end lifelong drug dependency?

NCT ID NCT07634562

First seen Jun 11, 2026 · Last updated Jun 11, 2026

Summary

This early-stage study tests whether a combination of total lymphoid irradiation and anti-thymocyte globulin, given after a standard liver transplant, can train the body to accept the new organ without needing lifelong immune-suppressing drugs. Twelve adult liver transplant recipients will be enrolled at Stanford University. The goal is to safely reduce and eventually stop all anti-rejection medication within two years while keeping the liver healthy.
