Monitoring brain and organ activity in organ donors
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests special monitors on organ donors after life support is withdrawn, to see how the organs and brain behave. It may help improve organ transplant outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18
- You are expected to donate organs after circulatory death within the next 4 days
- You do not have a bleeding disorder (based on blood test results)
- You are not taking blood-thinning medication

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.
This study looks at what happens to blood flow and organs after life support is withdrawn in people who are expected to pass away soon. It aims to understand the body's response during this time to improve future care.
This study looks at whether there is truly no blood flow to the brain during a specific type of organ donation. It aims to confirm safety and timing by using neurological monitoring during the process.
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 study uses brain signals to estimate how long a person may take to pass away after life support is removed. The goal is to improve the timing of organ donation for those who choose it.
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.
