New study aims to sharpen rejection detection in liver transplants
NCT ID NCT03193151
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at liver transplant biopsy samples to better understand and predict organ rejection. Researchers will analyze gene activity in 300 biopsy samples from transplant patients to create a tool that can identify rejection types more accurately. Participants are those already receiving a biopsy as part of their standard care. The goal is to improve diagnosis, not to test a new treatment.
