Creating a checklist for keeping donated livers viable
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study looks at a way to predict whether a donated liver will work well after being kept alive outside the body (“machine perfused”). It may help doctors choose the best livers and improve transplant outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old
- You are being considered to receive a deceased-donor liver transplant
- You do NOT have HIV-1 (a specific HIV infection)

This study tests a new way to check donated livers that other transplant centers have turned down. The goal is to see if these livers can be safely used for people on the waiting list, potentially increasing the number of available organs.
This study tests a new way to preserve donated livers using a special machine that keeps the liver cool and pumps fluid through it before transplantation. This may help the liver stay in better condition for the recipient, which could improve transplant success.
This study tests a new way to preserve donated livers (called machine perfusion) after they are recovered from donors who died from circulatory causes. It aims to see if this method helps the liver work better before transplant.
This study looks at new ways to check if a donated liver is healthy before transplantation. By examining tiny tissue samples taken before and after a special cold perfusion treatment, researchers hope to find better markers that predict how well the liver will work after transplant.
This study looks at how donated livers are used in transplants to find ways to improve results. It may help if you are receiving a whole liver from a donor.
This trial tests a new way to preserve donated livers before transplant, which may help people with severe liver disease get a transplant sooner. It may be an option for patients with certain cancers or urgent liver failure.
