Machine perfusion to predict kidney transplant outcomes
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial checks whether a special preservation machine (called machine perfusion) can predict how well a donated kidney will work after transplant. Participation helps doctors better match kidneys to patients and improve transplant success.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are already on the waiting list for a kidney transplant
- Your donor kidney comes from a deceased donor with 'extended criteria' (older donor aged 60+, or donor aged 50–59 with certain health conditions like high blood pressure, kidney impairment, or stroke-related death)
- The kidney is kept in a special perfusion machine during transport
- Your transplant happens at a German national transplant center
- You agree to participate and give your consent

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 study tests a special cold storage solution and machine to keep donated kidneys healthy before they are transplanted. It may help the kidneys work better after surgery.
This study tests a special way to keep and treat a donated kidney using a machine before it’s transplanted. The goal is to improve transplant outcomes for certain people on the kidney transplant waiting list.
This study compares two ways of preserving kidneys from older or less healthy donors before transplant – one using a machine that pumps fluid through the kidney, and one without. It may help improve how well these kidneys work after transplant.
This trial tests a machine method that keeps a donated kidney working “outside the body” so it may be better repaired before transplant. It is designed for certain first/second kidney transplants using specific donor types and storage methods.
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).
