VitaSmart HOPE System liver transplant registry
Part of Digestive system clinical trials.
This study follows people who receive a liver transplant using a special machine called the VitaSmart HOPE System, which keeps the donated liver healthy before transplant. The study tracks how well these livers work after transplant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled to receive a liver transplant
- Your liver comes from a deceased donor (not a living donor)
- Your liver is not a split liver (shared between two recipients)
- Your transplant center uses the VitaSmart HOPE System to prepare your liver

This study tests a new way to preserve donated livers using a machine that keeps the organ cool and oxygenated before transplant. It may help improve how well the liver works after the surgery.
This study tests a new way to preserve donated livers using a special machine that keeps the liver cool and pumps fluid through it before transplantation. This may help the liver stay in better condition for the recipient, which could improve transplant success.
This trial tests a new way to check if a donated liver is healthy while it is kept on a machine that keeps it alive before transplant. Doctors measure a substance called FMN in the fluid that flows through the liver and in bile. This could help them know how well the liver might work after 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.
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 looks at new ways to check if a donated liver is healthy before transplantation. By examining tiny tissue samples taken before and after a special cold perfusion treatment, researchers hope to find better markers that predict how well the liver will work after transplant.
