Study of a new way to preserve donor livers before transplant
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You are signed up as a first-time liver transplant candidate on the national waiting list
- If you have liver cancer, your tumor is within certain size limits or has been reduced to those limits
- You are not having another organ transplanted at the same time
- You are not in liver failure so severe that you need a ventilator or heart support

This study looks at how well people do in the long run after liver transplant using donor livers that were preserved in a specific machine called DHOPE for more than 4 hours. It may help doctors understand whether this preservation method leads to better transplant outcomes over time.
This study tests a special way of preserving donated livers, called HOPE, to see if it lowers the chance of liver cancer coming back after a liver transplant. If you have liver cancer and are waiting for a transplant, this trial might be an option for you.
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 trial tests whether adding a hormone called secretin to a machine that preserves donated livers outside the body can improve liver quality and transplant outcomes. You may qualify if you're an adult receiving a standard deceased-donor liver transplant that needs special preservation techniques.
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 trial tests whether using a machine to keep donated livers healthy (normothermic machine perfusion) can allow more people to receive a transplant sooner. It is for patients who are already on the waiting list for a liver and have a moderately severe MELD score (25 or less).
