Cold storage treatment for donated kidneys before transplant
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests a special cold storage solution and machine to keep donated kidneys healthy before they are transplanted. It may help the kidneys work better after surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You must be on the kidney transplant waiting list.
- You must be healthy enough for a kidney transplant, in your doctor's opinion.
- You must not be pregnant or planning to become pregnant during the study.
- You must not be getting a kidney from a living donor.
- You must not be getting a kidney together with another organ or a dual kidney transplant.
- You must not have very high levels of antibodies that make it hard to find a matching kidney.

This study tests a special solution given to the donor kidney during storage and transport, which may help protect the kidney before transplant. It is for adults with kidney failure receiving a deceased donor kidney.
This trial compares two ways of preserving kidneys from donors after cardiac death before transplanting them into recipients. One method uses a machine that pumps oxygenated fluid through the kidney (called NRP), and the other uses the same method plus an additional oxygen treatment (HMPO2). The goal is to see if the extra treatment improves kidney function after transplant.
This study checks if pumping a special fluid through donor kidneys (machine perfusion) helps predict how well the kidney will work after transplant. It's for people getting a kidney from an older donor or one with some health issues.
This Phase 3 study compares two types of transplant fluid (Custodiol-N vs Custodiol) to protect organs while they are stored before surgery. It may help by reducing damage to the kidney, liver, or pancreas during transplant preparation.
This study examines all kidneys donated from deceased donors (brain death or circulatory death) between 2010 and 2025 to understand how they are used for transplantation. It may help improve future transplant practices.
This trial tests a machine method that keeps a donated kidney working “outside the body” so it may be better repaired before transplant. It is designed for certain first/second kidney transplants using specific donor types and storage methods.
