Drone delivery of donated kidneys for transplant
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study tests whether it is safe to transport donated kidneys by drone between two hospitals before transplant. If you are getting a kidney transplant at Nantes University Hospital and your donated kidney comes from a specific hospital, this trial will check the safety of that delivery method.

This study tests a special way to keep and treat a donated kidney using a machine before it’s transplanted. The goal is to improve transplant outcomes for certain people on the kidney transplant waiting list.
This trial tests a new way to keep you asleep during a kidney transplant without using a breathing tube or ventilator. It aims to help you recover faster and with fewer breathing problems after surgery.
This trial tests whether donor lungs can be safely transported by drone from Nanning to Guangzhou for transplantation. If you are already on the lung transplant list at the First Affiliated Hospital, this could shorten the time your donor lung spends in transit, which may improve transplant outcomes.
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.
This study looks at whether special care given to brain-dead organ donors before their kidneys are removed helps the kidneys work better after they are transplanted into recipients. It reviews data from transplants done at Strasbourg University Hospital between 2018 and 2023.
This trial compares storing donated kidneys at 10 degrees Celsius (a cooler temperature) instead of the usual ice storage. It tests if this might help the kidney stay healthier before transplant.
