TORCH-LATAM-002: Regional Pathway for Adult Heart Transplant Evaluation and Candidacy (TORCH-002)

7. Oktober 2026 aktualisiert von: CardioVision International Tech, S.A.S. de C.V.

A Stepped-Wedge Cluster Randomized Trial of the TORCH Adult Heart Transplant Evaluation and Candidacy Pathway for Adults With Advanced Heart Failure in Latin America

TORCH-LATAM-002 is a pragmatic stepped-wedge cluster randomized trial evaluating an integrated regional pathway for adults with advanced heart failure who require specialized heart transplant evaluation and a documented candidacy decision. Participating network clusters transition from usual local pathways to the TORCH Adult Heart Transplant Evaluation and Candidacy Pathway. The primary outcome is completion of multidisciplinary evaluation and a documented transplant-candidacy decision within 90 days after enrollment. The study also examines pathway activation, barriers, clinical outcomes, waiting-list trajectories, and traceable donor-organ opportunities. Enrollment does not constitute placement on an official waiting list, organ allocation, or authorization of cross-border care.

Detaillierte Beschreibung

Each TORCH regional network cluster is anchored in an authorized transplant center and may include activated evaluation, referral, identification, donor-origin, procurement, preservation, logistics, and data-coordination nodes. Adults may be identified at transplanting or non-transplanting centers when an authorized route to specialized evaluation exists. The transplant center and competent authorities retain all legal and clinical authority for candidacy, waiting-list activation, organ acceptance, allocation, and transplantation.

The recipient pathway records identification, referral, enrollment, completion of multidisciplinary evaluation, documented candidacy decision, barrier management, activation of an authorized pathway or official waiting list, clinical change while waiting, donor-recipient opportunity, transplantation, or an alternative outcome. Study enrollment is analytically distinct from transplant candidacy and official wait-list status.

The donor-organ pathway records identification of a possible donor, confirmation of the applicable donation pathway, authorization, organ characterization, activation of an evaluable donor-organ opportunity, compatibility assessment, organ acceptance or rejection, procurement, preservation, transport, implantation, and final disposition. Donation after brain death and donation after circulatory determination of death are represented as distinct branches; normothermic regional perfusion is recorded only when applicable.

The two pathways converge at a traceable donor-organ-recipient matching episode. A characterized organ may be assessed for more than one compatible recipient, and each offer, decision, reason for non-acceptance, reassignment, urgency change, distance, logistics constraint, and final disposition is time-stamped. TORCH does not create a supranational allocation authority and does not override governmental or institutional systems.

Interoperability may range from audited manual transfer to structured documents, batch exchange, application programming interfaces, standards-based exchange, or validated remote-monitoring devices. Lack of an automated interface does not by itself exclude a site or participant when an authorized, secure, timely, and auditable fallback is available. Cross-border activity is activated only after applicable ethical, regulatory, institutional, data-protection, financial, and operational approvals.

Beschreibung

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Identification within an activated TORCH network cluster with an operational route to at least one authorized transplant center.
  • Ability to complete the protocol-defined follow-up directly or through an authorized network pathway.
  • Provision of informed consent according to applicable requirements.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Primary congenital heart disease managed under the pediatric or congenital TORCH protocol.
  • No authorized route for protocol evaluation or follow-up at the time of enrollment.
  • Unable or unwilling to provide informed consent when required.
  • The prespecified multidisciplinary evaluation and transplant-candidacy decision were already completed before the enrollment reference time.

Waffen und Interventionen

Teilnehmergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandlung
Experimental: TORCH Integrated Pathway Period

Participants enrolled while their cluster is assigned to the intervention period receive the TORCH Adult Heart Transplant Evaluation and Candidacy Pathway, including protocolized identification and referral, multidisciplinary evaluation, candidacy adjudication, barrier navigation, pathway and wait-list status tracking, and traceable donor-organ opportunity coordination when applicable.

A multicomponent health-services pathway that standardizes identification, referral, multidisciplinary evaluation, candidacy documentation, barrier navigation, longitudinal wait-list status, donor-organ opportunity traceability, and authorized information exchange across activated network nodes. The pathway supports but does not replace institutional or governmental clinical, listing, allocation, or regulatory decisions.

Kein Eingriff: Usual Local Pathway Period

Participants enrolled before their cluster transitions to the TORCH pathway receive the locally available referral, evaluation, treatment, and transplant-candidacy processes. Study data collection does not alter the legal authority of local transplant programs or competent authorities.

Was misst die Studie?

Primäre Ergebnismessungen

Ergebnis Maßnahme
Maßnahmenbeschreibung
Zeitfenster
Completion of Multidisciplinary Advanced Heart Failure Evaluation and Documented Transplant Candidacy Decision Within 90 Days
Zeitfenster: Within 90 days after enrollment.

Percentage of eligible enrolled participants who complete the prespecified multidisciplinary advanced heart failure evaluation and have a documented transplant-candidacy decision within 90 days after enrollment. A completed decision includes candidate for pathway or wait-list activation, conditional candidate with modifiable risk, not a candidate for isolated heart transplantation, too stable or transplant not currently indicated, or an alternative therapeutic pathway. An incomplete evaluation is not counted as success.

Within 90 days after enrollment.
