Niemann, MD, Darren Malinoski, MD, John Feiner, MD, Kristine Broglio MS, Ryutaro Hirose, MD, John P. Roberts, MD Decision to publish Claus U. Niemann, MD, Darren Malinoski, MD Authorization Process for Donation and Research Upon declaration of neurologic death, patients families or legal surrogates either received disclosure of a patient s prior document of gift for organ and tissue donation on the California 6

8 State Donor Registry or were approached for authorization for donation. Unless otherwise specified, a patient s document of gift included authorization for research. Research authorization to enroll DNDDs in management studies or utilize their organs and/or tissue could either be documented by the donor on a state registry prior to their death or, in the absence of this, obtained from their legal next of kin after the decision to donate organs had been made. At the time that families or legal surrogates were approached for authorization for organ and tissue donation, a request for authorization for research was also made. The family or surrogate could authorize or decline research participation independent of organ and tissue donation for transplantation. If authorization for research was granted a research brochure was provided explaining the current research the OPO was engaged in. If a family or surrogate declined research due to objections over solid organs being utilized solely for research an additional request was made to determine if enrollment in this trial was feasible as the trial did not involve procurement of organs solely for research purposes. If authorization was granted, an addendum was made to the authorization form specifically stating authorization for enrollment in this donor management trial. Legal statutes do not require informed consent from next of kin, due to the fact that no harm can come to a deceased subject. However, the Uniformed Anatomical Gift Act does require authorization for both what is being donated as well as the purpose for which the gift is being donated, organ transplantation and research being two such examples. Communication with Transplant Centers Prior to implementation of the study, contact was initiated with all of the high volume donor hospitals and local transplant centers in the two donation service areas covered by OneLegacy and California Transplant Donor Network to inform them of this research effort. The research oversight body of each OPO approved the study protocol after each of their organ-specific 7

9 committees provided input. Two exclusion criteria were suggested and adopted: DNDDs with (1) hemodynamic instability, defined as not meeting the UNOS Region 5 Donor Management Goal for low-dose vasopressor usage or (2) a coagulopathy, defined as an INR > 2.5, PTT > 3x normal, and/or a Platelet count < 50,000/mcl. Table S1 contains the current UNOS DMGs, which include the criteria for hemodynamic instability and guide the bedside management of every DNDD throughout the Region. After receiving local approval, the study protocol was presented to the UNOS Region 5 Research Committee, which recommended approval to the general audience at the Regional Business Meeting. Approval was given with the following stipulations: 1. Split liver donors should not be included due to the concern for a mild coagulopathy during the dissection of donors in the hypothermia arm and 2. Donors of thoracic organs should be excluded until the cardiovascular and pulmonary safety profile of mild hypothermia could be established and presented at the next meeting of the Research Committee. In addition, notification was sent via the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) enewsletter to inform the transplant community at large about the upcoming study and to allow for a two-week public comment period, during which time no further requests were made. Study protocols were made available on and shared as requested. With each subject enrollment, information about organs offered for transplantation from enrolled DNDDs was posted on DonorNet SM, (Richmond, Virginia, USA). In addition to standard data, it contained information about the study protocol and treatment group assignment. This allowed any transplant center and surgeon to contact the PI or Co-PI at any time if there were questions concerning donor enrollment and the implications for organs offered for transplantation. The allocation of organs to specific recipients occurred based on standard OPTN guidelines and local transplant center acceptance criteria. 8

Donor Management Goals Mean arterial pressure Central venous pressure Ejection fraction Vasopressors* Arterial blood gas ph PaO 2 /FIO 2 Serum Sodium Urine output Parameters mm Hg 4 12 mm Hg 50% 1 and low dose mmol/l > 0.5 ml/kg/hr over 4 hrs Glucose 180 mg/dl *Low dose of vasopressors was defined as: Dopamine 10 mcg/kg/min, Phenylephrine 60 mcg/min, and Norepinephrine 10 mcg/min Inclusion and Exclusion Criteria Inclusion Criteria Legal determination of death by neurologic criteria Any gender or ethnicity Age 18 years or greater at the time of death Authorization for research from the authorizing surrogate or by First Person Authorization via either a state donor registry or advanced directive Mean arterial blood pressure > 60 mmhg for more than one hour without an increase in vasopressors (see exclusion criteria for upper limits of vasopressor use) Exclusion Criteria Donors after determination of circulatory death (DCD) Age under 18 years 9

11 No research authorization End stage renal disease and/or dialysis at the time of current hospitalization Coagulopathy (INR greater than 2.5, PTT greater than 3 time normal, and/or platelet count less than 50,000/mcl), Hemodynamic instability (more than one vasopressor or one agent at a high dose: dopamine greater than 10 mcg/kg/min, norepinephrine greater than 10 mcg/min, and/or phenylephrine greater than 60 mcg/min) Donor considered a candidate for in-situ split liver Chronic medical condition precluding general acceptance for transplantation (i.e. Hepatitis B or C, diabetic or hypertensive nephropathy with unacceptable kidney biopsy findings) Additional outlying factors for exclusion were determined on a case-by-case basis with the PI and the study coordinator (i.e. severe electrolyte disturbance, rhabdomyolysis, etc.) Of note, donors whose coagulopathy, hemodynamic instability, or electrolyte deficiency were corrected, were considered for enrollment at that time. DNDDs were disenrolled if any of these exclusion criteria developed after randomization, but before initiation of targeted temperature management, or a donor family rescinded authorization for either donation or research. In addition, based on the initial approval that was received by each OPO s research oversight body as well as the UNOS Region 5 Research Committee, DNDDs who were anticipated to be thoracic organ donors (heart/lung) were excluded during the first 6 months of the study so that the safety profile of mild hypothermia on hemodynamic and respiratory function could be established; being that deep hypothermia has been associated with a decrease in cardiac output and no amount of hypothermia has previously been studied in DNDDs, thoracic transplant programs wanted to examine these effects prior to accepting organs 10

12 from study donors. After a detailed safety analysis was shared with regional thoracic transplant programs (see below), enrollment was then expanded to include all DNDDs with research authorization: Enrollment began on March 15, 2012 and, as of December 6th, there have been 123 donors randomized. Initially, only abdominal donors were included so that the cardiovascular and respiratory effects of mild hypothermia could be assessed and a safety analysis performed. The analysis has revealed that no donors have required an increase in vasopressor dosages after enrollment and there were no significant changes in PaO 2 :FIO 2 ratios over time in either group. Temperature Management and Intervention The intervention was initiated after research authorization was obtained and randomization had occurred. Randomized DNDDs were either warmed to or cooled to C based on the study group assignment. The goal was to reach the target temperature within four hours of enrollment. Once this target was reached, temperature was maintained within the goal range until the DNDD was transported to the operating room for organ recovery. Management in the operating room was not part of the donor intervention and followed standard protocols. Data Collection and Verification Data Entry OPO procurement coordinators prospectively entered the data contained within the DMG data template at the bedside of each donor during donor management. This data template has been in place since 2008 and has been extensively used for quality assurance. Its overall format and functionality are familiar to all of the OPOs in Region 5. Study protocol-specific data were prospectively recorded on an electronic data collection sheet, reviewed during weekly conference calls by the steering committee, and imported into a relational database (Filemaker 11

13 Pro, Santa Clara, CA, USA). The relational database allowed for matching of all donor-specific data to the appropriate recipient demographic and outcome data that was provided by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR). Donor-specific Data Donor demographics, medical history and baseline clinical data were collected along with laboratory values obtained at the time of enrollment from the OPO. Time intervals between ICU admission, study enrollment, and organ recovery were recorded. Creatinine levels were used for calculation of GFR (Modification of Diet in Renal Disease Study, Creatinine and GFR were measured at study enrollment and just prior to organ recovery (terminal creatinine). The Kidney Donor Profile Index (KDPI) is cumulative percentage scale that represents an overall estimate of the risk of graft failure for an individual donor. The KDPI includes weight, height, ethnicity/race, history of hypertension or diabetes, cause of death, serum creatinine, anti-hcv. Recipient-specific Data The study obtained data from the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR). The SRTR data system includes data on all donors, wait-listed candidates, and transplant recipients in the US, submitted by the members of the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN). The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services provides oversight to the activities of the OPTN and SRTR contractors. Recipient variables known to impact graft function and that are included in established riskadjusted models were obtained from the SRTR standard analysis file ( and linked to each study donor by their unique UNOS identification number. These included recipient age, sex, ethnicity, cold ischemia time, 12

14 and warm ischemia time, among others. The full model is available at: Security and Privacy The Region funded the creation of a web portal (software as a service, SAAS) for more efficient and accurate data entry. The web based data entry system employs a rights management system through which system administrators can control and maintain user responsibilities and privileges. The system provides a login page requesting a unique user name and password for the purpose of authenticating the appropriate user access levels and privileges. System access beyond this point is restricted to only allow authorized users of the system. Once a user login is processed and authenticated, the system creates a security session. Session data tracks the user and the system checks the security session each time the user accesses a page. Administration One person at each OPO was given administrative rights to manage the application in terms of security authorizations and registering and un-registering each OPO s users. Reporting Data gathered were consolidated into report formats and exportable for analysis purposes. Reports were generated for each OPO as well as OPO-blinded aggregate reports. 13

15 Results Supplement Interim Analysis Sample size estimation was based on the primary outcome, DGF. We considered a 30% relative change in the DGF rate to be considered clinically significant. In order to have 90% power to detect this change with an overall two-sided Type I error rate of 5%, this trial required a total of 820 kidneys transplanted, 410 in each group. With an estimated attrition rate of 20%, our original enrollment target was 500 donors or 1000 potentially transplantable kidneys. At the time of the interim analysis, 293 DNDDS were enrolled and 247 had at least one kidney transplanted. The primary endpoint was known on at least one kidney from 244 donors. Based on the Lan-DeMets approximation of the O Brien-Fleming group sequential boundary and an information time of 244/500 (48.8% information), the two-sided nominal p-value for treatment required to stop early for success was and the p-value required for success at the completion of the trial would be At the interim analysis, based on the primary efficacy analysis, hypothermia reduced the odds of DGF by approximately half (OR = 0.49, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.32 to 0.75) as compared to normothermia. The two-sided p-value for treatment group was 0.001, which was less than the two-sided p-value required for early success stopping (0.0026). Accrual to the trial was not paused for the interim analyses Temperature Profiles in Study Groups Temperature did not differ initially between donors in the hypothermia and normothermia group (Table S2). Upon leaving for the operating room for organ donation, donors in the hypothermia group were over 2ºC colder than those in the normothermia group (P<0.001). 14

19 Subgroup Analyses Within each subgroup, DGF between treatment groups was compared with a logistic regression model fitted according to the GEE and including only a term for randomized treatment group. Kidney-Pancreas Transplants Combined kidney-pancreas transplants included 16 (5.6%) kidneys from the hypothermia group of donors and 10 (3.5%) from donors in the normothermia group. No ECD donors were used for combined kidney-pancreas transplant and no DGF occurred in either treatment group (Table S5). Liver-Kidney Recipients Simultaneous kidney and liver grafts, included 12 (4.2%) kidneys from the hypothermia group and 13 (4.5%) from the normothermia group. Only 5 of these 25 donors were ECD. The proportion of DNDDs who donated kidney and liver grafts to the same recipient was not significantly different between the two treatment groups (P=1.0). DGF in kidneys from the two treatment groups did not differ within this subgroup, P= (Table S5). Table S5.
