About this study

Official title: Interest of Oxygenated Hypothermic Perfusion in Preservation of Hepatic Grafts From Expanded Criteria Donors. A Prospective Monocentric Study.

Interest of oxygenated hypothermic perfusion in preservation of hepatic grafts from expanded criteria donors.

Read the detailed description

The excellent results of liver transplantation (LT) have led to a significant increase in the number of patients awaiting transplantation. At the same time, the number of grafts remains stable. To extend the donor pool, the use of Extended Criteria Donor (ECD) donors graft increased each year despite the fact that these graft are known to be more vulnerable to ischemia-reperfusion injuries induced by cold storage preservation (CS). Their use is therefore associated with a greater risk of postoperative dysfunction of the graft. This risk can be reduced by improving preservation quality.

The preservation by hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE) consists of keeping the graft in hypothermia (4 to 12 °C) on an machine perfusion (MP) using a specific solution, saturated with oxygen. In kidney transplantation, the use of MP has been shown to improve graft function as well as graft survival, especially for ECD grafts.

In liver transplantation, experimental studies on animal models have demonstrated the superiority of HOPE over CS regarding graft function and survival. These results have been confirmed in humans on small retrospective series.

As HOPE is an expensive procedure, obtaining evidence of its effectiveness could result in a reimbursement of the additional cost.

What is being measured

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

    Occurrence of early allograft dysfunction and / or primary non function

    Measured: Day 7

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Evaluation of the impact of PHO during the conservation of ECD liver grafts on intraoperative morbidity

    Measured: Day 1

  2. Evaluation of the impact of PHO during the conservation of ECD liver grafts on intraoperative morbidity

    Incidence of reperfusion syndrome defined as a 30 % decrease of mean arterial pressure, for at least 1 minute, during the 5 minutes following revascularization

    Measured: Day 1

  3. Evaluation of the impact of PHO during the conservation of ECD liver grafts on postoperative morbidity

    Measured: Day 7

  4. Evaluation of graft's survival

    Occurrence of a vascular and biliary complication

    Measured: Month 3

  5. Number of days of hospitalization (initial stay) after transplantation

    Measured: Postoperative course

  6. Number of days of hospitalization after transplantation

    Measured: Month 3

  7. Cost of the initial stay

    Measured: Postoperative course

  8. Cost of the hospitalization stay

    Measured: Month 3

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE) and Conventional cold storage in people with Hepatocellular Injury, run by Rennes University Hospital at 1 site 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 14 inclusion and 4 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 11 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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.

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?

Evaluation of the performance of HOPE in the preservation of ECD liver grafts on graft function recovery (time frame: Day 7). 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 NCT03376074, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Mar 2019.
