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 is testing whether a quick look at small liver samples during cold machine perfusion can help doctors tell if the organ is healthy enough for transplant. If it works, this method could improve transplant success by catching problems early.
This study tests whether a special way of moving blood through the donor abdomen before surgery can improve liver (and other organ) transplant quality. It may help because doctors can check how well the liver seems to be working before it’s actually used.
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.
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 trial tests if a machine that pumps warm oxygenated blood through livers that were considered unsuitable for transplant can help doctors decide if they are actually safe to transplant. If so, it could increase the number of available livers for people waiting for a first liver transplant.
This trial tests a special preservation machine that keeps donor livers cold and functioning during transport before transplant. The goal is to improve how well donated livers work after transplantation and reduce complications.
