Study Summary

This is a prospective, multi-center, controlled, randomized, pivotal study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the VitaSmart Liver Machine Perfusion System by comparing clinical outcomes in patients undergoing liver transplantation with ex-vivo liver preservation using static cold storage (SCS) followed by hypothermic oxygenated machine perfusion (HOPE) versus SCS only.

Primary Outcome

Proportion of participants with EAD by 7 days post-transplant (or at hospital discharge if prior to 7 days). Defined by the presence of one or more of the following outcomes: * Serum bilirubin ≥10 mg/dL at day 7 post-transplant * INR ≥1.6 at day 7 post-transplant * ALT or AST \>2000 IU/L within the first 7 days post-transplant
