MELD exception points have recently been proposed in qualifying patients with CRLM to help this group obtain more timely quality allografts. Under the current proposal, patients with CRLM would receive a score of the median MELD at transplant (MMaT) for their center minus 20 with a minimum score of 15 in cases where MMaT minus 20 would be less than 15. This would allow them to receive transplants faster without competing unnecessarily with those with greater medical need.Summary: Giving MELD exception points to patients with colorectal cancer liver metastases in need of transplant may decrease time on the waitlist and improve outcomes for these patients.","PeriodicalId":10900,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Organ Transplantation","volume":" ","pages":"195-199"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140118980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Regarding the use of taNRP to recover donor lungs, United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS) analysis shows that taNRP recovered lungs are noninferior, and taNRP has been used to consistently recover excellent lungs at high volume centers.

Recent advances in immuno-oncology have turned the spotlight on immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs). This review offers an updated overview of ICIs in liver transplantation for HCC, exploring neoadjuvant and adjuvant approaches and addressing unanswered questions on safety, patients' selection, and response predictors.Recent findings: ICIs have transitioned from being a last-chance therapeutic hope to becoming an integral cornerstone in the treatment of advanced HCC, holding great promise as a compelling option not only to downstage patients for transplantation but also as an alternative strategy in addressing posttransplantation disease recurrence. Despite ongoing refinements in immunotherapeutic agents, the complex molecular pathways involved emphasize the need for a comprehensive approach to integrate immunotherapy in liver transplantation.Summary: Initial concerns about graft rejection, with ICIs as a bridging therapy to liver transplantation, were successfully addressed using adequate immunosuppressants strategies and minimized with a sufficient washout period. Post-liver transplantation disease recurrence remains challenging, requiring a balance between effective therapy and preserving graft function. Emphasis should be placed on clinical trials validating the risk-benefit ratio of ICIs for liver transplantation, guiding appropriate patients' selection, and establishing clear management pathways.","PeriodicalId":10900,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Organ Transplantation","volume":" ","pages":"144-154"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139073611","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Strategies for identifying and managing these patients are discussed in this review.Recent findings: Unlike initial reports, several modern series have reported positive outcomes after liver transplantation for iCCA. The main challenges are in identifying the appropriate candidates and graft scarcity. Tumor burden and response to neoadjuvant therapies have been successfully used to identify favorable biology in unresectable cases. New molecular biomarkers will probably predict this response in the future. Also, new technologies and better strategies have been used to increase graft availability for these patients without affecting the liver waitlist.Summary: Liver transplantation for the management of patients with unresectable iCCA is currently a reality under strict research protocols.

Preliminary results from early-phase clinical trials in live donor kidney and liver transplantation are promising. This follows many years of research elucidating mechanisms of action and utility of DCregs. Herein, we review early-phase clinical trial observations and recent advances in the production, modification, and future-trajectory of DCreg in organ transplantation.Recent findings: Preclinical work has demonstrated the ability of adoptively transferred DCreg to abrogate ischemia-reperfusion injury and promote long-term allograft survival. Good Manufacturing Practice-grade DCregs have been generated in adequate numbers for early-phase trials of autologous DCregs in kidney transplantation and donor-derived DCreg in liver transplantation. These trials have demonstrated feasibility and safety, with preliminary evidence of an influence on host immune reactivity. In both kidney and liver transplantation, reduced effector CD8 + T-cells have been noted, together with other changes that may be conducive to reduced dependence on immunosuppressive therapy.Summary: Substantial progress has been made in bringing DCreg to clinical testing in organ transplantation. Additional clinical and mechanistic studies are now needed to further explore and garner the full potential of DCreg in organ transplantation.","PeriodicalId":10900,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Organ Transplantation","volume":" ","pages":"121-130"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10932828/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138290601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, allograft rejection remains a major challenge and represent a frequent course for allograft failure. With prolonged allograft survival, novel phenotypes of rejection are emerging, which can show complex overlap and transition between cellular and antibody-mediated rejection mechanisms as well as mixtures of acute/active and chronic diseases.

Similarly, liver transplantation involves a connection to the digestive tract and its microbiota through the bile ducts. For heart transplant recipients, specific factors are related to the management strategies for end-stage heart failure based with different circulatory support tools. Kidney and kidney-pancreas transplant recipients commonly experience asymptomatic bacteriuria, but recent studies have suggested the absence of benefice of routine treatment. Bloodstream infections (BSI) are frequent and affect all SOT recipients. Nonorgan-related risk factors as age, comorbidity index score, and leukopenia contribute to BSI development.

Prophylaxis with valganciclovir is the most widely used approach to CMV prevention, however leukopenia and late onset CMV disease after discontinuation of prophylaxis requires new strategies to prevent this complication. The use of assays detecting CMV-specific T cell-mediated immunity may individualize the duration of antiviral prophylaxis after transplantation. Letermovir has been recently approved for prophylaxis in kidney transplant recipients. CMV-RNAemia used together with CMV-DNAemia in the viral surveillance of CMV infection provides accurate information on viral load kinetics, mostly in patients receiving letermovir prophylaxis/therapy.
