About

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of LIV-GAMMA SN Inj. administered for consecutive 3 days in adult subjects to prevent biliary complications after ABO incompatible adult to adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). The primary objective of this study is to determine the incidence rate of biliary complications for 48 weeks after liver transplantation. Incidence rate of transplant rejection, DSA, antibody reaction, CMV infection, infectious complications, DIHBS and recurrence rate of HCC as well as adverse events are assessed as additional efficacy and safety endpoints in this study.

Enrollment: 59 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 19 to 75 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
