Avoiding cooling after warm machine perfusion for liver transplant
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are listed for your first liver transplant.
- Your donor liver will be kept on a machine that keeps it warm and nourished (called normothermic machine perfusion).
- You are able to understand and sign a consent form.

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.
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 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).
This study tests a new way to preserve donated livers (called machine perfusion) after they are recovered from donors who died from circulatory causes. It aims to see if this method helps the liver work better before transplant.
This study collects information about how livers do after transplantation when they've been preserved using machine perfusion—a technique that keeps donor livers in better condition before surgery. Researchers want to understand which preservation methods work best to improve transplant success across Europe.
