Heart transplant study using perfusion technology
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You are on a waiting list for heart transplant or have been accepted as a heart transplant candidate
- You can understand and sign a consent form
- You are not waiting for multiple organ transplants at the same time
- The donor heart comes from a donation-after-brain-death (DBD) or donation-after-cardiac-death (DCD) donor

This trial tests a special machine that preserves donor hearts for longer periods before transplant. It may help people waiting for a heart transplant who need a heart from a donor that may be older or has some heart risks.
This study tests a new way of storing donor hearts at 10 degrees Celsius before transplant, instead of the usual ice-cold method, to see if it helps the heart stay healthy longer. If you are already on the heart transplant waiting list, you might be able to join.
This study creates a worldwide registry and information database to help improve how donor hearts are preserved for transplant. If you are a heart transplant candidate, your details may be recorded to see what matching and preservation approaches work best.
This study follows people with severe (end-stage) heart failure who are evaluated for and receive a heart transplant. It helps doctors understand what outcomes to expect after transplant, which can guide future care.
This registry study checks whether a new venous blood tube used with a heart pump is safe and practical for people whose right heart is failing and who may need a heart transplant. If you qualify, your care team would monitor how the device works over time.
This study collects blood and/or heart tissue samples from certain people getting heart procedures or with a long-term heart pump. The goal is to store these samples for future research that may improve care for heart failure.
