Experimental data show protective effects on hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) using the calcineurin inhibitor Tacrolimus applied intravenously or directly as a hepatic rinse. Moreover clinical data indicate a protective role of a Tacrolimus rinse in human liver transplantation when using normal, healthy grafts. The effects of Tacrolimus on hepatic injury in extended donor criteria (EDC) liver grafts remain unclear. Therefore, the aim of the present study is to examine the effects of a Tacrolimus ex vivo rinse (20 ng/ml) on cellular injury after transplantation of marginal liver grafts exhibiting 2 or more EDCs according to Eurotransplant's definition of EDC grafts."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\nRecipient:\n\nChronical terminal liver failure, age \\> 18 years, first organ transplantation\n\nDonor:\n\n* donor age \\> 65 Jahre\n* macrovesicular steatosis \\> 40% (macroscopy or biopsy)\n* BMI \\> 30\n* sodium \\>165 mmol/l\n* ICU stay and ventilation \\> 7 days\n* cold ischemia time \\> 13 hours\n* AST \\> 99 U/l\n* ALT \\> 105 U/l\n* bilirubin \\> 3 mg/dl (\\> 51 µmol/l)\n* application of epinephrine\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\nDonor:\n\n• Hepatitis B- or Hepatitis C-infection\n\nRecipient:\n\n* Multi organ transplantation\n* high urgency listing\n* extrahepatic tumor disease\n* pregnancy'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT01564095', 'acronym': 'TOP', 'briefTitle': 'TOP-Study (Tacrolimus Organ Perfusion): Treatment of Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Marginal Organs With an ex Vivo Tacrolimus Perfusion', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Ludwig-Maximilians - University of Munich'}, 'officialTitle': 'TOP-Study (Tacrolimus Organ Perfusion): A Prospective Multicenter Trial for Treatment of Ischemia Reperfusion Injury in Marginal Organs With an ex Vivo Tacrolimus Perfusion', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'TOP-Study'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Tacrolimus + HTK', 'description': 'Ex vivo Tacrolimus Rinse (20 ng/ml solved in 1000 ml HTK) of marginal liver grafts prior to implantation', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Tacrolimus']}, {'type': 'PLACEBO_COMPARATOR', 'label': 'HTK', 'description': 'Ex vivo Rinse (1000 ml HTK) of marginal liver grafts prior to implantation', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: HTK/Placebo']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Tacrolimus', 'type': 'DRUG', 'otherNames': ['Tacrolimus, Prograf;
