Official title
A Matched Intervention Pilot Trial of Eculizumab Therapy to Reduce Preservation Injury in Human Macrosteatotic Liver Transplantation
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The number of liver transplants that can be performed is limited by the availability of organs. Livers that are steatotic (i.e., infiltrated by triglycerides and other fatty substances) are usually not used for transplants, due to increased risk of adverse events and deaths post-transplant. The investigators propose administering eculizumab to patients receiving macrosteatotic liver transplants and hypothesize that doing so will mitigate post-surgical adverse outcomes.
