Randomized Study of Organ Care System Cardiac for Preservation of Donated Hearts for Eventual Transplantation (PROCEEDII)

June 4, 2020 updated by: TransMedics

Prospective, Multicenter, Randomized, Clinical Investigation of TransMedics Organ Care System (OCS) for Cardiac Use

The purpose of the study is to compare survival of both patients and newly transplanted hearts following heart transplantation among patients who were transplanted with donated hearts preserved on ice and those who were transplanted with donated hearts using the Organ Care System (OCS). The Organ care system preserves the hearts in a warm blood perfused beating state. The study also compares the number of rejection episodes, heart related adverse events, ICU time, and ventilation time between the two groups. The study is considered a success if survival in the OCS group was not inferior to the ice group.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Experimental: Organ Care System
Device: Organ Care System
The Organ Care System (OCS) is a portable organ perfusion and monitoring system intended to preserve a donated heart in a near normal physiologic beating state during transport for eventual transplantation into a recipient. The OCS maintains organ viability by providing a controlled environment that simulates near-normal physiological conditions, continuously perfusing the donated heart with warm, oxygenated blood, supplemented with the Solution Set. The blood is collected from the donor and continuously circulated to the organ in a closed circuit along with the Solution. The OCS preserves and monitors the organ's perfusion and metabolic state after explantation from a donor and connection to the device, during transportation to the recipient site, and until disconnection from the device.
Other Names:
  • OCS
Active Comparator: Cold cardioplegia solution
Device: Cold Cardioplegia Solution
This is the standard of care solutions used to arrest and preserve the donated heart during transport until arrival at recipient hospital
