- HOPE-NMP is the first randomised controlled trial investigating the effects of end-ischemic HOPE and end-ischemic NMP compared to CCS in a multi-centre prospective randomised controlled clinical trial (RCT) using ECD liver grafts in DBD liver-transplantation (NCT04644744).
- HOPE-NMP focuses on patients solely receiving ECD-allografts, a population we anticipate the best cost/benefit ratio from the utilization of HOPE.
- HOPE-NMP focuses on donation after brain death, the most frequent source of ECD-allografts in Europe.
- Multi-centric design, currently 3 centres (Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin, University Hospital Heidelberg, University Hospital Hannover)
