Trial summary

A major limitation of liver transplantation is organ shortage. To avoid exposing patients to death on the waiting list, organs are used that would have been discarded few years ago. Graft allocation is regulated by the "agence de biomedecine" which establishes a national score. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Optimizing Donor-recipient Matching to Improve Survival After Registration on the Waiting List for Liver Transplantation: the OPTIMATCH LT Study

A major limitation of liver transplantation is organ shortage. To avoid exposing patients to death on the waiting list, organs are used that would have been discarded few years ago. Graft allocation is regulated by the "agence de biomedecine" which establishes a national score. Each liver graft is proposed to the patient presenting the higher score. Acceptance or rejection of the graft only depends on the decision of each centre. We propose to submit a more efficient allocation model (enabling each proposed liver graft to be transplanted in the candidate whose transplantation will afford the greatest survival benefit after registration), by collecting and analysing variables from donors and candidates/recipients.

What is being measured

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

    In view of the complexity of our project, different parallel approaches will be performed in order to establish predictive models

    Measured: 5 years

  3. Decision tree analysis

    In view of the complexity of our project, different parallel approaches will be performed in order to establish predictive models

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Liver Transplantation, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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 14 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Survival analysis (time frame: 5 years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 14 Dec 2020.
