Allogeneic Regulatory Dendritic Cell (DCreg) Renal Study (NCT03726307)
Allogeneic Regulatory Dendritic Cell (DCreg) Therapy in Live-Donor Renal Transplant Recipients
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This study will evaluate the safety and feasibility of treatment involving a single infusion of donor-derived regulatory dendritic cells (DCreg) in first time, living donor renal transplant recipients. DCreg will be prepared from monocytes obtained by leukapheresis from prospective (non-mobilized) living kidney donors and infused into the respective recipients 7 days before renal transplantation. This study will enroll 28 subjects (14 recipients, 14 donors). The duration of follow-up will be: * 1 week following the leukapheresis procedure for donors and * 2 years following their DCreg infusion for kidney recipients.
Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (39 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (0 items).
