New markers to check liver health before transplant
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older and receiving a liver transplant.
- The donor liver can come from a donor after brain death or after circulatory death.
- The donated liver must be treated with a special cold oxygenated perfusion (called HOPE) for at least 1 hour before transplant.
- Two small tissue samples (biopsies) from the donated liver must be available for testing.
- The liver must be stored and transported in a standard cold storage solution.
- You must agree to let researchers use your clinical and histology data for this study.

This study tests whether a donor liver kept on a special warm machine can be transplanted safely without needing to cool it down first. It is for adults receiving their first liver transplant who have stable liver disease (not acute failure).
This study looks at liver tissue before transplantation to find ways to predict how well the transplant will work. It involves a special treatment called HOPE to help preserve the liver.
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 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 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 using a machine that keeps the organ cool and oxygenated before transplant. It may help improve how well the liver works after the surgery.
