4 The imbalance between available grafts for transplantation and demands has moved the focus of many investigators on the search for novel strategies to rescue organs, previously considered to be unsuitable for transplantation. In this setting, machine perfusion is recognized as one of the most significant improvements in the field of transplantation over the past 20 years (1). Besides potentially improving organ shortage by repairing putative irreversible injuries, dynamic preservation strategies may offer an opportunity to test organ quality before implantation or to manipulate some functions; for example, by mitigating the immune response (2). For livers, two main perfusion approaches are currently debated in the clinic, a) perfusion with blood or alternative oxygen carriers at physiologic normothermic or subnormothermic conditions, or b) perfusion with cooled oxygenated artificial fluids. The aim and mechanisms of both approaches differ greatly. Normothermic machine perfusion (NMP) is used to minimize the duration of cold storage, and is applied either in situ, e.g. in donors before procurement, known as normothermic regional perfusion (NRP)(3), or ex situ during or after organ transport to the recipient center (4). The first randomized NMP trial on predominantly livers donated after brain death (DBD) showed excellent 1-year graft survival (95%) by continuous application of NMP during the entire preservation period with, however, similar survival outcome in the control static preservation group (5). Hypothermic machine perfusion(6)(7) and hypothermic oxygenated perfusion (HOPE and D- HOPE)(8)(9)(10) are currently performed after cold storage, i.e., just prior to implantation in a recipient. Recent observational studies reported a 5-year graft survival of 94 % in HOPE treated livers despite using higher risk livers with longer donor warm ischemia(11). Besides mortality, however, morbidity measured up to one year after transplantation appears equally important (12). For example, a particularly distressful type of preservation injury occurs on the bile ducts, often weeks after transplantation, and this risk is mainly observed in livers donated after circulatory death (DCD)(13). Of note, both, upfront NMP or NMP after cold storage, e.g. an end-ischemic normothermic perfusion, failed to protect significantly DCD liver grafts from such biliary injury (5)(14). In contrast, end-ischemic HOPE has been shown to decrease significantly histological signs of bile duct injury after reperfusion (10), and achieved a rate of less than 5 % non-anastomotic strictures in recent reports on DCD livers (15). These results, however, should be interpreted with caution given the observational study design. 3
5 An important point, still poorly investigated, is whether machine perfusion techniques have any benefits in low-risk liver grafts, which are associated with excellent short and long-term outcome using simple static preservation approaches. Such grafts include DBD livers without relevant steatosis or DCD livers with short warm and cold ischemia times (16)(17)(13). For example, transplantation with cold stored livers not associated with steatosis, fibrosis, or prolonged warm ischemic time achieved excellent 92 % one-year graft survival (12). Correspondingly, the control group in the recent NMP trial showed a 96 % one-year graft survival by simple cold storage (5) indicating that the trial was performed using mostly high quality grafts and low risk recipients. This issue might be also important in the ongoing HOPE trial, where hypothermic machine perfusion targets exclusively DBD livers with no specific restriction on high-risk grafts (18). Therefore, a true benefit of machine perfusion in this trial would be linked to the inclusion of a relative high percentage of injured livers. Despite the overwhelming enthusiasm for machine perfusion technologies (19)(20)(21), the routine replacement of cold storage by dynamic perfusion approaches is difficult to justify and certainly not cost efficient. A relevant benefit is to be expected only in conditions with increased risk of graft loss, such as advanced donor age, macrovesicular steatosis, and longer donor warm or cold ischemia. The current unsolved issue is at what threshold of risks we should use those novel strategies. There is a clear lack of data and consensus in this area, and this should be a high priority for added knowledge. Current randomized machine perfusion trials Do they help? No doubt that RCTs are needed to define the role of machine perfusion in liver 4 transplantation. Such trials must secure not only safety and benefits, but also costeffectiveness, as some perfusion strategies are associated with exorbitant costs. Therefore, investigators must put particular attention in the study design to provide convincing information through sufficient sample sizes and clinically relevant endpoints. Optimally, to justify a change in organ preservation policies, novel approaches should demonstrate significant improvement in allograft function, liver utilization rates, outcome of recipients including ICU and hospital stays, graft and patient survivals, and at least one-year posttransplant morbidity (12). In contrast, the use of surrogate markers of liver injury, such as
6 the release of transaminases (AST/ALT) must be strictly avoided as a primary endpoint, since correlation between AST or ALT release and outcome of a graft after transplantation is inconsistent, especially in DCD liver grafts. Serum transaminase levels after transplantation may confer some predictive value regarding graft survival only when markedly elevated, e.g. > 5,000 U/L) (22). A recent large trial on NMP, unfortunately, chose peak serum AST levels as the primary endpoint (5), which not only poorly reflect whole graft injury, but these markers are washed out together with other cytoplasmic enzymes already during ex situ machine liver perfusion prior to implantation of the graft in the recipient. This is an obvious bias, as wash out of any liver enzymes is not part of cold stored grafts, e.g. in the control group. Surprisingly, the authors failed to report AST concentrations in the perfusate (5). Second, availability of more sensitive markers of allograft function would be essential to demonstrate protective effects. Unfortunately, no such markers exist, and the most accurate clinical prediction for liver graft dysfunction following transplantation relies on lactate and bilirubin clearance together with the synthesis of coagulation factors. Importantly, dynamic changes of these laboratory parameters (e.g. the slope of serum INR or bilirubin) are superior to any single peak values (23). Accordingly, a definition of liver graft dysfunction based on peak transaminases in combination with later (e.g., 7 day) single levels of INR and bilirubin at arbitrary cut-off points (24) must be avoided in perfusion trials. The only completed RCT (5), regrettably, focussed on such definition, and thereby failed to offer any valuable information about the role of NMP on liver graft function. Third, rescuing damaged organs, otherwise discarded, is a major target of new technologies in this area. The policy to discard a graft for transplantation is, however, far from being standardized, greatly differs among centres and individual surgeons, and is prone to major selection biases in clinical trials (25). For example, in the recent perfusion RCT (5), a quarter of accepted livers were discarded in the cold storage group by the respective recipient centres, although initially randomized because deemed transplantable by the donor surgeon. This figure contrasts with only 12% in the perfusion group (5). Such discrepancy between accepting grafts for the trial, but not for implantation suggests an additional flaw in the study design. Future trials require a strict commitment in the decision to use or not a liver graft before randomization, regardless if perfusion or cold storage is 5
7 used, to minimize differences in drop outs. In addition, the quality of all grafts need to be documented in terms of donor age, steatosis, cold and warm ischemia times to increase comparability of discard reasons among centers (15). Fourth, hospital stay after liver transplantation varies greatly among centres despite adjusting risk, as illustrated in a recent benchmark analysis in large volume centers recording a range of hospitalization between 6 and 24 days in low risk transplants (12). The reason behind such considerable differences in hospital stay is mostly not treatment based, but reflects discharge policies of transplant centers, e.g. in-hospital waiting for rehabilitation places vs. unrestricted transfer without rehabilitation. This indicates major limitations in interpreting such parameter in studies. Fifth, graft and patient survivals are logically convincing parameters, but there is a need for adequate follow-up to assess safety or superiority in machine perfusion trials. A minimum observation of 1-year appears advisable, based on the fact that most graft losses related to preservation injury develop all along the first year after LT (1)(12). Finally, measuring morbidity after transplantation is crucial, as it affects quality of life of patients and influences overall cost. (26). Capturing complications after surgery, however, is challenging since multiple definitions of postoperative complications exist. The Clavien- Dindo classification, which relies on the need for treatment to correct a negative event, or its surrogate metric, the comprehensive complication index (CCI )(27), are currently widely used in surgery and transplantation (28) with the availability of reference values provided in a recent multicenter benchmark study covering one year after transplantation (12). In summary, most of the available endpoints in LT are weak and should be carefully selected in RCT s. Based on the fact that complications after liver transplant are frequent and have unequivocally the highest clinical relevance in terms of cost and quality of life, we suggest a cumulative assessment of post-transplant complications within one year, besides recipient and graft survival, as preferred primary endpoints for future machine perfusion studies. This is the case for example in the two ongoing multicentric randomized machine perfusion trials on hypothermic liver perfusion (HOPE, D-HOPE)(18). For convincing effectiveness against cold static preservation, any novel perfusion technology should prove superiority in relevant endpoints before claiming its general use (Table 1). 6
8 7 Future randomized trials Future machine perfusion trials should compare the different competing techniques using clinically relevant endpoints. To properly conduct such studies, an objective and adequate knowledge of the various perfusion technologies is mandatory, and thus should optimally be restricted to few experienced centres. We would urge the transplant community including the industry to rather focus on supporting current research in highly engaged perfusion teams, instead of suggesting widespread use of one specific perfusion technology. Accessible registries to allow research in long-term outcome should also be implemented(29). Mechanism of different machine perfusion techniques what is currently known? The precise underlying mechanism for protection of liver grafts by machine perfusion remains under debate. For NMP, the current explanation is a reduction of cold ischemia by minimizing the anaerobic metabolism with less accumulation of citric acid cycle products and improved ATP restoration (30). The extreme of such strategy is an ischemia free organ transplantation (IFOT), where donor livers are put on a normothermic circuit even before procurement, similar as in NRP, but, however, with continuing nomothermic perfusion until implantation (31). It might be more efficient to develop repair strategies of pre-transplant or procurement injuries, which are common in the clinic (e.g. fatty liver, prolonged cold or warm ischemia). Endischemic NMP in discarded human livers with longer periods of cold ischemia failed to protect against biliary injury; the most prevalent cause of graft loss after DCD liver transplantation (14). Continuous or endischemic NMP after ischemia triggers an inflammatory cascade, mostly related to mitochondrial derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) (32)(33) (Figure 1), which resemble in vivo conditions (34). Evidence for an activation of danger signals by normothermic perfusion techniques is also well described in normothermic perfusion of other organs including heart- (35), kidney- (36), and lung (37). The target of all ex situ normothermic interventions is, therefore, to capture ROS and danger molecules (DAMPs and pro-inflammatory cytokines), for example by perfusate scavengers (33) or by implementation of cytokine filters into the circuit. In contrast, hypothermic perfusion techniques mitigate oxidative stress despite high availability of oxygen in the cold (38), probably due to changes in mitochondrial electron transfer, e.g.
9 down-regulated electron transfer at temperatures below the Arrhenius break point temperature of 15 C. At the same time, metabolism of accumulated electron donors, such as NADH and succinate, leads to ATP re-synthesis (39)(40) with surprisingly high efficiency, compared to normothermic conditions, possibly due to less electron and proton leakage in the cold (38). End-ischemic cold oxygenated perfusion therefore allows a higher upload of cellular energetic levels in liver grafts procured after circulatory death (DCD), compared to normothermic perfusion(41) (Figure 1). These observations support possible complementary effects of, for example, combining first hypothermic and afterwards normothermic machine perfusion, when applied after a period of cold ischemic storage(42)(43). Future outlook Future investigations on perfusion should include the search of protective mechanisms, and evaluate effective repair of injured organs. Thereby, perfusion technologies convey a great potential to influence cellular metabolism before implantation, modulating inflammation, immune response and perhaps triggering anticancer pathways. It is central that expensive and cumbersome RCTs in the field of organ perfusion select exclusively clinically relevant endpoints. Additionally, prediction of organ function during machine perfusion will likewise be possible by detailed perfusate analysis including metabolomics and proteomics, leading to safer utilization of marginal grafts. We anticipate that within the next few years a far better understanding will be available about which perfusion strategies should be applied best and for which liver graft. 8

15 Figure 1: Machine liver perfusion strategies Figure legend: A. During cold or warm ischemia, liver grafts suffer from lack of oxygen supply, leading to major metabolic alterations at the mitochondrial level(32). First, electron carriers such as NADH 1 are highly reduced, and second, due to a block in the electron transport chain (32), the citric acid metabolite succinate increases 2, while ATP and ADP decrease 3, and purine metabolites increase 4 (MODE 1 of mitochondrial operation according to Murphy)(33). B. Upon normothermic reperfusion, rapid oxidation of the accumulated succinate 1 together with low adenine nucleotide levels 2and a reduced Coenzyme Q pool trigger reverse instead of forward electron transfer (RET) 3 through the mitochondrial respiratory chain (32), which has been recognized as major generator of reactive oxygen species (ROS) at complex I 4(33). Increased ROS release can also occur at the flavin mononucleotide site of complex I by an increased NADH/NAD ratio. Subsequently, ROS release will initiate an inflammatory cascade (34) during normothermic machine perfusion (MODE 1 or MODE 2 of mitochondrial operation according to Murphy (33). C. In contrast, during hypothermic/subnormothermic perfusion, mitochondrial respiratory function is significantly slowed down(51), preventing accumulation of electron overload at complex I and II. At the same time, ATP and ADP are 14
