Kidney and Hematopoietic Cell Transplants Using a Regimen to Promote Hematopoietic Cell Engraftment
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a single arm phase 1 non randomized dose finding study for safety, feasibility and efficacy of deceased donor vertebral body (VB) marrow cell infusion and kidney transplantation.
| Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
|
Phase 1 |
Detailed Description
Patients will undergo a standard of care deceased donor kidney transplant and thereafter the recipient will receive TLI (Total Lymphoid Irradiation)/single low dose Total Body Irradiation, ATG (Anti-Thymocyte Globulin) conditioning, followed by an infusion of whole bone marrow cells harvested from the same donor vertebral bodies. Patients will be receive standard of care doses of steroids, MMF and tacrolimus as part of their transplant immunosuppression.
Subjects will be withdrawn from the immunosuppression if they have met the withdrawal criteria.

| Experimental: Phase I Study of Combined DD Kidney and HCT Transplant Single arm Phase 1 non randomized dose finding study for safety, feasibility and efficacy of deceased donor vertebral body (VB) marrow cell infusion |
Biological: Combined Deceased Donor Kidney and Hematopoietic Cell Transplants
This combined kidney and hematopoietic cell transplants with a conditioning regimen with irradiation and ATG creates an environment of immune-tolerance. This promotes hematopoietic cell engraftment.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Number of patients out of the total patients enrolled who received both the kidney and the bone marrow from the same donor. [6 months]
- Determine the dose of TBI that will support donor CD3 Tcell chimerism between 30-75% at 45 days post infusion [day 45]
TBI dose in cGy associated with donor Tcell chimerism of >30 % immunosuppressive drug monotherapy.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Number of patients who develop GVHD, all grades and types, within 60 months of kidney transplant [60 months]
- Number of patients with either bacterial, viral or fungal infection within 12 months post transplant . [12 months]
- Serum Creatinine [up to 60 months]
- Panel-Reactive Antibody (PRA) [Baseline, month 9, and month 12]
Report % of PRA on all participants
- Donor-Specific Antibody (DSA) [Baseline, month 9, and month 12]
Report percentage of patients that develop DSA
