The standard French liver allocation rules will be followed. The study does not interfere or change the process of accepting or declining a liver graft offered to a patient in any way. If the liver is suitable for transplantation and all inclusion and exclusion criteria are met, the liver will be randomized to either HOPE after cold storage or static cold storage only. The control group will use the gold standard static cold storage technique (4 °C) with Institute George Lopez (IGL-1)® solution from graft harvesting until liver transplantation as routine practice in the eight centers.
