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 tests whether a special way of moving blood through the donor abdomen before surgery can improve liver (and other organ) transplant quality. It may help because doctors can check how well the liver seems to be working before it’s actually used.
This study collects information about how livers do after transplantation when they've been preserved using machine perfusion—a technique that keeps donor livers in better condition before surgery. Researchers want to understand which preservation methods work best to improve transplant success across Europe.
This study is testing whether a quick look at small liver samples during cold machine perfusion can help doctors tell if the organ is healthy enough for transplant. If it works, this method could improve transplant success by catching problems early.
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 trial tests a special preservation machine that keeps donor livers cold and functioning during transport before transplant. The goal is to improve how well donated livers work after transplantation and reduce complications.
