Colorectal Metastasis to Liver Extraction With Auxiliary Transplant and Delayed Resection Registry Study

NCT ID: NCT06698146Sponsor: Northwestern UniversityLast updated: 2026-02-10

Summary

Liver transplantation (LT) has become an accepted treatment for selected patients with unresectable liver metastases due to colorectal cancer (CRLM). The goal of this study is to look at and compare the clinical results of all the different approved methods (living vs. Deceased, whole organ vs. Split, one staged vs. Two staged) used to perform a standard liver transplant procedure for recipients with CRLM. Investigators will look at things like different procedure results, recovery in the hospital, and survival rates one year after the transplant. Investigators will also take blood samples from participants to be used in future research. All the transplant methods the investigators are comparing are standard practices approved by the United Network of Organ Sharing (UNOS).

    Time frame: From liver transplant to 12 months
