Compare treatments for controlled donation after circulatory death
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This trial compares different care approaches for adult donors in a specific type of controlled donation after the heart stops. It aims to find which approach best supports organ/tissue use after donation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a donor in a controlled donation after the heart stops (DCD), specifically Maastricht type III or V
- Age is over 50 and under 75 years
- You do not have cancer, unless it is a non-spread (not metastatic) brain/spinal cord tumor, non-melanoma skin cancer, or a cancer that is fully cured
- No active serious infections are present (for example sepsis, meningitis, HIV, tuberculosis, or certain viral infections)
- There is no history of intravenous drug abuse
- In the NRP group, BMI must be 35 or less, and liver enzyme levels (transaminases) must not be above 1000 or improving before donation

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 special machine that helps preserve and evaluate donor hearts before transplant. If you're waiting for a heart transplant, this trial may help doctors find the best donor hearts and improve transplant outcomes.
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 tests whether a newer method of preserving donor kidneys (called HMPO2 with NRP) can improve outcomes compared with the standard NRP method alone. If you are getting a kidney from a donor after circulatory death, this could help your transplant succeed.
This trial tests a special machine that keeps donated livers healthy before they're transplanted. It aims to improve transplant success and help more people receive a liver.
This trial tests special monitors on organ donors after life support is withdrawn, to see how the organs and brain behave. It may help improve organ transplant outcomes.
