About this study

The PI will study metabolism during liver regeneration in living liver donors

Read the detailed description

Samples of blood and urine will be collected from study participants at defined timepoints. The samples will be evaluated to study the metabolism of the regenerating liver after a portion of the liver has been donated from a living donor.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Liver Insufficiency, run by Baylor Research Institute at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Characterized Metabolic Changes during liver regeneration (time frame: one year after donation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01922323, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
