Due to the lack of suitable organs transplant surgeons have to accept unfavorable extended criteria donor (ECD) organs. Recently, we demonstrated that the perfusion of kidney organs with anti-human T-lymphocyte globulin (ATLG) prior to transplantation ameliorates ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI). Here, we report on the results of perioperative ATLG perfusion in a randomized, single-blinded, placebo-controlled, feasibility trial (RCT) involving 30 liver recipients (LTx). Organs were randomly assigned for perfusion with ATLG/Grafalon ® (AP) ( n = 16) or saline only (control perfusion = CP) ( n = 14) prior to implantation. The primary endpoint was defined as graft function reflected by aspartate transaminase (AST) values at day 7 post-transplantation (post-tx). With respect to the primary endpoint, no significant differences in AST levels were shown in the intervention group at day 7 (AP: 53.0 ± 21.3 mg/dL, CP: 59.7 ± 59.2 mg/dL, p = 0.686). Similarly, exploratory analysis of secondary clinical outcomes (e.g., patient survival) and treatment-specific adverse events revealed no differences between the study groups. Among liver transplant recipients, pre-operative organ perfusion with ATLG did not improve short-term outcomes, compared to those who received placebo perfusion. However, ATLG perfusion of liver grafts was proven to be a safe procedure without the occurrence of relevant adverse events.
