Study of heart and blood circulation issues during a specific organ donation process
Treatments studied
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial is studying heart and blood circulation problems that may happen during a certain type of organ donation (called Maastricht 3). It is for people who donate organs and those who receive them. The goal is to see how the level of oxygen in the blood affects these problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Donors must be 18 years or older.
- The organ donation process must follow French laws for Maastricht 3 donors.
- Donors' family members must not object to them joining the study.
- Donors must not be on the national refusal list or have a living refusal of donation.
- Donors must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Donors must not be under guardianship or legal protection.
- Organ recipients must be 18 years or older at the time of the pre-transplant checkup.
- Recipients must have received an organ from a donor in this study and not object to their data being collected.
- Recipients must not be under guardianship or legal protection.

This study follows kidney, liver, or heart transplant recipients to better understand how to improve their long-term health and survival. Researchers at several hospitals in France will collect information from participants to learn what helps people stay healthy after a transplant.
This study tests whether a structured, shared conversation between the clinical team and the patient’s family can reduce how often families refuse organ donation after life-sustaining treatment is stopped. If you are eligible, the trial may guide how consent discussions are handled during a difficult ICU decision.
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.
This trial compares different anesthesia strategies used during organ donation surgery after brain death to see which one helps preserve organs better for transplant. It is for brain-dead adult patients in the ICU whose families agree to organ donation and research participation.
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 uses a heart ultrasound (echocardiography) to see how the heart changes when healthy volunteers donate blood. If you're a healthy adult who can donate blood, you may help researchers understand more about blood donation's effect on the heart.
