Bedside device aims to cut bleeding in liver transplants
NCT ID NCT06749405
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a bedside device called Quantra can help doctors decide when to give blood transfusions during liver transplant surgery. The device measures blood clotting in real time. Researchers hope it will reduce bleeding and the amount of blood products needed. The trial will enroll 56 adults undergoing liver transplantation.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Quantra-guided transfusion algorithm
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could reduce blood loss and the need for transfusions during liver transplantation, making the surgery safer.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-phase study with only 56 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. The device may not significantly improve outcomes over standard care.
