MIC Cell Therapy for Individualized Immunosuppression in Living Donor Kidney Transplant Recipients

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Kidney Failure, Chronic
Interventions
Biological: Mitomycin C-induced peripheral blood mononuclear cells (MICs)
Registration Number
NCT02560220
Lead Sponsor
Heidelberg University
Brief Summary

A phase- I clinical trial to determine safety and feasibilty of intravenous administration of mitomycin C-treated donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells in patients with chronic kidney disease stage KDIGO 4 or 5 (i.e. GFR 15-30 mL/min or \< 15 mL/min) who receive a kidney transplant from a living donor.
