NCT ID NCT05234190
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a personalized cell therapy called QEL-001 in 33 liver transplant recipients. The therapy uses a patient's own cells, modified to train the immune system to accept the donated liver. The goal is to see if it is safe and allows patients to stop taking anti-rejection medications without their body rejecting the liver.
