Cellular Immunotherapy in Recipients of Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-Mismatched, Living Donor Kidney Transplants

clipboard-pencil

About the study

The Phase 2 primary objective is to evaluate achievement of persistent mixed chimerism and withdrawal of at least one immunosuppression drug for a minimum of 6 months with no episodes of biopsy-proven acute rejection or transplant kidney loss induced by cellular immunotherapy with MDR-102 in recipients of 1, 2, or 3 out of 6 human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-mismatched, living donor kidney transplants. The Phase 3 primary objective is to evaluate achievement of induction of immune quiescence by cellular immunotherapy with MDR-102 in recipients of 1, 2, or 3 out of 6 HLA-mismatched, living donor kidney transplants. Immune quiescence is defined as remaining on maintenance immunosuppression monotherapy with Tac or CsA for 12 months or more after completion of anti-rejection immunosuppression drug therapy reduction with no episodes of biopsy-proven acute rejection, transplant kidney loss, or subject deat.
