Cooled oxygenated machine perfusion for liver transplant
Part of Cancer, Digestive system clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to preserve donated livers using a machine that keeps the organ cool and oxygenated before transplant. It may help improve how well the liver works after the surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a liver transplant that uses a special machine to keep the liver cool and oxygenated.
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You are not pregnant.
- You will receive a whole liver, not a partial piece.
- The donated liver is intact and can be connected to the machine.

This study tests a special way to preserve donated livers before transplant to see if it reduces the chance of liver cancer coming back after surgery.
This study follows people who receive a liver transplant using a special machine called the VitaSmart HOPE System, which keeps the donated liver healthy before transplant. The study tracks how well these livers work after transplant.
This study tests whether a donor liver kept on a special warm machine can be transplanted safely without needing to cool it down first. It is for adults receiving their first liver transplant who have stable liver disease (not acute failure).
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 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 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.
