To increase the quality and number of organs available for transplant from deceased organ donors, physicians use \u2018donor interventions.\u2019 Donor interventions involve things like administering drugs to donors to improve the condition of their organs for the benefit of organ recipients. However, there is limited evidence that these interventions are safe and effective; some may even do more harm than good. To improve donation practices, large international randomized trials of donor interventions are needed, but conducting these trials in deceased donation is challenging: regulatory, ethical, and methodological uncertainties stand in the way. Our long-term goal is to produce guidance on the conduct of randomized trials of donor interventions. As a first step in our program of research, this project addresses important preliminary research questions to ground guideline development. We will (1) map the legislation, case-law, and regulations relevant to randomized trials in donation to understand the regulatory environment; (2) review international ethical guidelines and statements on research with dying and recently deceased patients to identify possible solutions to ethical challenges; (3) partner with deceased donors\u2019 family members to identify key markers of a high-quality donation process, enabling us to later derive outcome measures aimed at improving donation processes for families. As a critical step on the path to transformative research, this project will benefit donors who want to maximize their legacy, families who want to see successful donation, and recipients who will benefit from improved organs.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"align-self: center;margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;margin-top:30px;margin-bottom:30px;width:100%;\"><div class=\"fusion-separator-border sep-double sep-solid\" style=\"--awb-height:20px;--awb-amount:20px;border-color:#e0dede;border-top-width:1px;border-bottom-width:1px;\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><h5 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/innovation-grant-2023-results\/\"><strong>View the results of the 2023 CDTRP Research Innovation Grant Competition.<\/strong><\/a><\/h5>\n<h5 class=\"fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"text-align: center;\" data-fontsize=\"20\" data-lineheight=\"30px\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/cdtrp-innovation-grant-winners\/\">View past CDTRP Innovation Grants recipients here.<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":24984,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,75],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24990","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","category-featured"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24990"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24990"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24990\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24992,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24990\/revisions\/24992"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24984"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24990"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24990"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdtrp.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
