About this study

Official title: Celsior®: Evaluation of an Organ Preservation Solution in Liver Transplantation.

The aim of the study is to determine the efficacy and safety of a preservation solution in liver transplantation. Its efficacy will be compared to the efficacy of other currently used preservation solutions.

Read the detailed description

The quality of organ preservation is a major determinant of initial graft function and survival. Graft viability is based on hypothermia, the organ being stored in a cold preservation solution.

Celsior® has been shown effective for cold preservation of heart and lung and, in laboratory studies, for liver, kidney and pancreas. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Celsior® in liver transplant preservation. Celsior® will be considered effective if the failure rate one year after transplantation is not significantly superior to 20% (rate observed in the European transplantation register between 1997 and 2001).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Graft failure leading to patient death or retransplantation

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (6)

    Measured: Reperfusion after transplantation

  2. Onset of surgical complications

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Liver graft function during the fourteen first days

    Measured: 14 days

  4. Incidence, treatment and evolution of acute and chronic rejections histologically proven

    Measured: 1 year

  5. Onset of infections

    Measured: 1 year

  6. Onset, treatment and evolution of serious adverse events

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Celsior® in people with Liver Transplantation, run by Rennes University Hospital at 9 sites in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Nov 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Graft failure leading to patient death or retransplantation (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00151593, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 26 Nov 2007.
