About this study

PRESERVE Heart Study - This is a prospective, multicenter, non-randomized, single arm, open label study in subjects requiring a Heart Transplant. Study donor hearts meeting extended criteria are preserved via Non-Ischemic Heart Preservation (NIHP) using the XVIVO Heart Preservation System (XHPS).

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Recipient Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age ≥18 years.
  • Signed informed consent form (ICF).
  • Listed for heart transplantation

Recipient Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous solid organ or bone marrow transplantation.
  • Requires a multi-organ transplant.
  • Subject is enrolled and ongoing in another investigational pharmaceutical or medical device clinical trial (Exception: observational studies are permitted).
  • Subject is on mechanical circulatory support pre-transplant other than durable LVAD, Impella or intra-aortic balloon pump.
  • History of complex congenital heart disease ie: single ventricle physiology (Per Investigators discretion).
  • Subject on renal replacement therapy/dialysis.
  • Ventilator dependence (subject is intubated at time of transplant/unable to provide consent or re-affirmation of consent).
  • Sensitized subject is undergoing desensitization treatment.

Donor Inclusion Criteria:

  • Estimated Cross Clamp Time ≥ 4 hours, OR
  • Estimated Cross Clamp Time ≥ 2 hours, AND

Any ONE or more of the following:

  • Age ≥ 50 years
  • LVEF 40-50% at time of provisional acceptance
  • Down-time ≥ 20 mins
  • Hypertrophy/Septal thickness >12- ≤16mm
  • Angiographic luminal irregularities with no significant CAD, OR
  • Donation after Circulatory Death (DCD) donors.

Donor Exclusion Criteria:

  • Unstable hemodynamics requiring high-dose inotropic support.
  • Significantly abnormal coronary angiogram defined as CAD > 50% stenosis of one or more vessels.
  • Moderate to severe cardiac valve pathology.
  • Investigator's clinical decision to exclude from trial.
  • Previous Sternotomy.

Treatment and study plan

Non-Ischemic Heart Preservation (NIHP) using the XVIVO Heart Preservation System (XHPS)

Device

Study donor hearts meeting extended criteria are preserved via Non-Ischemic Heart Preservation (NIHP) using the XVIVO Heart Preservation System (XHPS)

Primary outcomes

  1. The percentage of patient survival

    Time frame: Post-operative Day 365.

    The percentage of patient survival at 365 days from the date of transplant. The long-term safety success is defined as survival.

  2. The percentage of patient treatment success rate

    Time frame: 30 days post transplantation

    The percentage of patient treatment success rate at 30-days post transplantation. The treatment success is defined as freedom from treatment failure.
