Non-Invasive test may predict liver transplant failure in real time

NCT ID NCT07658794

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study explores whether a non-invasive test called the vascular occlusion test (VOT), used with near-infrared spectroscopy, can predict early allograft dysfunction (EAD) in adults receiving a liver transplant. EAD is a serious complication that can lead to organ failure. Researchers will measure oxygen levels in tissues at several points during surgery and see if those readings can forecast EAD within the first week after transplant. The goal is to find a reliable way to spot trouble early, so doctors can intervene sooner.

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 successful, this test could give doctors a real-time warning during surgery, potentially improving outcomes for liver transplant patients.

What could go wrong

This is a small observational study, so results may not apply to all patients. The test might not reliably predict graft dysfunction.
