Study summary

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 these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 26, 2007, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
