Overview

This trial is designed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the novel OCS Solution and OCS Functional Enhancer (OFE) to support FDA approval in both DBD and DCD heart transplantation. In addition, this trial will evaluate the performance of the novel OCS Solution and OFE compared to Static Cold Storage (SCS) in DBD heart transplantation to potentially demonstrate superiority.

Eligibility

Part A - DCD Donor Hearts \& DBD Donor Hearts Initially Deemed Unsuitable for Cold Storage (Current Approved Indications):

Donor Inclusion Criteria

  • Donor hearts are deemed clinically acceptable for transplantation after physical examination of the donor hearts in the donor chest and/or on the back table in the donor operating room.
  • All DCD donors eligible for functional warm ischemic time criteria ≤ 30 minutes. WIT defined as time from when mean systolic blood pressure (SBP) is \<50mmHg (sustained for at least 5 minutes) to aortic cross clamp and administration of old cardioplegia in the donor.
  • DBD donor hearts with an expected cross clamp of ≥ 4 hours
  • DBD donor hearts with any of the following organ quality concerns, regardless of cross clamp time:
    • Donor age ≥ 40 years old
    • Unknown downtime
    • Insignificant CAD
    • LVEF ≤ 50%

Donor Exclusion • Moderate to severe aortic incompetence

Part B - DBD Donor Hearts Currently Used with Cold Storage (New Indication):

Donor Inclusion Criteria

  • Donor hearts are deemed clinically acceptable for transplantation after physical examination of the donor hearts in the donor chest and/or on the back table in the donor operating room.
  • Eligible for randomization to OCS or SCS treatment arms.
  • DBD donor hearts with an expected cross clamp time of \< 4 hours.

Donor Exclusion

  • Moderate to severe aortic incompetence
  • DBD donor with any of the following organ quality concerns:
    • Donor age ≥ 40 years old
    • Unknown downtime
    • Insignificant CAD
    • LVEF ≤ 50%

Recipient Eligibility Criteria (for Part A and B Cohorts)

Inclusion

  • Signed informed consent document and authorization to use and disclose protected health information
  • Heart transplant candidate
  • Age ≥ 18 years old

Exclusion

• Participant in any other interventional clinical or investigational trials/programs that may confound the outcomes of this trial

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
