In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Immunosuppression Withdrawal for Liver Transplant and Liver Transplantation. Completed, enrolled 20 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
Antirejection medicines, also known as immunosuppressive drugs, are prescribed to organ transplant recipients to prevent their bodies from rejecting the new organ. Long-term use of these drugs places transplant recipients at higher risk of serious infections and certain types of cancer. The purpose of this study is to determine whether immunosuppressive drugs can be safely withdrawn over a minimum of 9 months from children who received liver transplants at least 4 years ago.
