Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To evaluate the effectiveness of the OCS Heart System to resuscitate, preserve and assess hearts donated after circulatory death for transplantation to increase the pool of donor hearts available for transplantation.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

A prospective, randomized and concurrent controlled, non-inferiority pivotal trial in which subjects who receive a DCD donor heart transplant will be compared to subjects who receive a standard criteria donor heart transplant (Standard of Care 1 \[SOC1\] and Standard of Care 2 \[SOC2\] - from both randomized and concurrent control groups), adjusting for differences in risk factors.
