About this trial

The purpose of this clinical study is to confirm the safety and effectiveness of dual hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (DHOPE) using the Liver Assist to preserve deceased donor livers for transplantation.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Participant is able to provide informed consent and HIPAA authorization

Age ≥18 years

Participant is registered as an active first-time liver transplant candidate on the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) waiting list for primary liver transplantation

Participant is willing to comply with the study requirements and procedures

Disqualifiers

Participant will undergo concurrent multi-organ transplantations (liver-kidney, liver-lung, etc.)

Participant is listed for liver transplantation due to fulminant liver failure (UNOS status 1A)

Participant is listed for a repeat liver transplantation (>1 graft)

Participant is pregnant

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • dual hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (DHOPE)

    Device

    Clinically, end-ischemic DHOPE has been shown to restore hepatic ATP, reduce reperfusion injury, and improve outcomes after deceased donor liver transplantation. Recent prospective and retrospective clinical studies detail the safety and feasibility of prolonged preservation of donor livers with DHOPE for up to 20 hours; prolonged perfusion has shown similarly low rates of serious adverse events, a potential protective effect in mitigating acute kidney injury and may facilitate decreased frequency of discarded and nonuse of donor livers.
