Global Utilization And Registry Database for Improved preservAtion of doNor Pancreata (GUARDIAN-PANCREAS)
brief summary
The primary objective of this study is to collect real-world clinical performance data to assess the clinical outcomes of patients receiving pancreas transplants using donor pancreata transported via the PancreasPak system. These results will be compared to standard of care outcomes, as well as other preservation methods.
detailed description
GUARDIAN-PANCREAS is a post-market, observational registry of adult transplant recipient patients whose donor pancreas was preserved and transported within the PancreasPak. The data is being collected retrospectively from medical records of patients already transplanted before the initiation of the registry and any new patients who meet the eligibility criteria.
About 1000 subjects meeting the study inclusion and exclusion criteria will be enrolled into the study at about 15 clinical sites.
Candidates that fit the eligibility criteria and have had their donor pancreas transported with a Paragonix product or a standard of care method can be enrolled. The baseline characteristics and outcomes of the two groups will be compared.
