Can a new preservation fluid keep donor kidneys healthier for transplant?
NCT ID NCT07792317
First seen Aug 28, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether Omnisol, a new preservation solution, can keep deceased donor kidneys in better condition during machine perfusion before transplantation. The goal is to reduce delayed graft function, where the kidney takes time to start working, and improve early graft survival. Researchers will enroll 15 kidney transplant recipients and track outcomes like the need for dialysis in the first week and kidney function at 30 days.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Omnisol organ preservation solution
- What this could lead to
- If Omnisol preserves donor kidneys better than current solutions, it could reduce delayed graft function and improve early transplant outcomes, potentially expanding the usable donor organ pool.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small pilot study with only 15 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The solution might not outperform existing options, and there are inherent risks in organ transplantation, such as graft failure or rejection.

Inclusion for donor: * Donor age \> 18 years * Brain Death (DBD) or Circulatory Death \< 50 years (DCD\<50) * Accepted for transplantation according to local criteria Inclusion for recipient: * Male or female, age \> 18 years * Able and willing to comply with all study requirements (in opinion of investigator or deputy) * General inclusion criteria applicable to kidney transplantation: * Listed for renal transplantation due to end stage renal disease on the Eurotransplant (ET) list * Fit to proceed with kidney transplantation (in opinion of investigator or deputy) Exclusion for donor: * Donor kidneys accepted as a pair for dual transplant * Circulatory Death ≥ 50 years (DCD 50+) * Participation in an investigational study likely to affect interpretation of the trial data Exclusion for recipient: * General exclusion criteria applicable to kidney transplantation * Breast-feeding or pregnant, as confirmed by pregnancy test or blood test, or plans to become pregnant over the study period * Participation in an investigational study likely to affect interpretation of the trial data * Mental disabilities that may affect the understanding of the study requirements including the ability to adhere to medication regime (in opinion of investigator or deputy) * Undergoing living donor kidney transplantation * Undergoing dual kidney transplantation * Undergoing transplantation of other organ(s) in addition to the kidney * Highly immunized patients with vPRA \> 85% (as confirmed by routine cross-matching test) * Other substantial risk of transplant not proceeding (in opinion of investigator or deputy) * Other significant disease or disorder which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may: (i) put the participant at risk by participating in the study; (ii) influence the result of the study; (iii) affect the participant's ability to participate in the study
