Trial Outcomes & Findings for Ex-vivo Perfusion and Ventilation of Lungs Recovered From Non-Heart-Beating Donors to Assess Transplant Suitability (NCT NCT01615484)

NCT ID: NCT01615484

Last Updated: 2018-06-08

Results Overview

The primary objective evaluated for this study is recipient mortality and graft survival at 30 days post transplant. 30 day mortality and graft survival is used as a standard research assessment to evaluate post transplant outcomes.

Participant Flow

Lungs were recovered from 35 NHBDs, 22 had EVLP. Two lung blocks were judged suitable, but not transplanted: No consented recipient available for #1, protocol time specifications could not be met for #2. As such, no subjects enrolled into EVLP arm.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 and 72 hours

Primary Lung Graft Dysfunction (PGD) is an indicator for significant morbidity and mortality after lung transplantation. Grade 0: PaO2/FIO2 \> 300 with normal chest radiograph; Grade 1: PaO2/FIO2 \> 300 with diffuse infiltrates on the chest radiograph; Grade 2: PaO2/FIO2 between 200 and 300; Grade 3: PaO2/FIO2 \< 200.
