Summary

This trial is testing a new cell therapy called FCR001 for patients receiving a kidney transplant from a living donor. The therapy uses special cells to help the body accept the new kidney. The goal is to see if this method is safer and more effective than the usual medications used to prevent organ rejection.

Proportion of FCR001 recipients who are free from immunosuppression (IS), without biopsy proven acute rejection (BPAR) at 24 months post-transplant

Awards & Highlights

No Placebo-Only Group
All patients enrolled in this study will receive some form of active treatment.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: FCR001Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
FCR001 is a cryopreserved allogeneic stem cell therapy derived from mobilized peripheral blood of the kidney donor that is delivered as a single dose with a non- myeloablative conditioning regimen. FCR001 contains the donor's CD34+ cells, facilitating cells, and αβ T cells.
Group II: ControlActive Control1 Intervention
Standard induction therapy followed by a maintenance regimen of tacrolimus, mycophenolate, and +/- corticosteroids after kidney transplant. Control donors are not followed beyond randomization.
