Safety & Tolerability Study of Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Reg Cell Therapy in Living Donor Renal Transplant Recipients

- Kidney Transplant RejectionEnd Stage Renal Disease

- Registration Number
- NCT04817774
- Lead Sponsor
- Sangamo Therapeutics
- Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of TX200-TR101 and its effects on the donated kidney in living donor kidney transplant recipients. TX200-TR101 is a product made from a kidney transplant recipient's own immune cells, which are genetically modified and designed to help the transplant recipient's body accept their donated kidney and prevent their immune system from rejecting it.
- Detailed Description
This is a multicentre, first-in-human, open-label, single ascending dose, dose-ranging study of autologous, chimeric antigen receptor T regulatory cells (CAR-Treg) in HLA-A2 mismatched living donor kidney transplant recipients, with a control cohort of mismatched kidney transplant recipients of similar immunological risk.The aim is for the CAR-Tregs to recognise the HLA-A2 molecule present on the donated kidney and subsequently induce and maintain immunological tolerance to the organ.
The study requires three different types of participants - transplant recipients who will receive the study treatment TX200-TR101; control participants, who are transplant recipients who will not receive the study treatment; and transplant donors, who will donate their kidney to the transplant recipients.

Group Intervention Description Treatment group TX200-TR101 Subjects undergo kidney transplant as per planned standard of care and are administered study drug post transplantation. Treatment group TX200-TR101 Subjects undergo kidney transplant as per planned standard of care and are administered study drug post transplantation, up to 24 subjects.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Safety and Tolerability 28 days post infusion Safety and tolerability of TX200-TR101 infusion evaluated by incidence and grade of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), including serious adverse events (SAEs) according to CTCAE V5.0.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Acute graft related outcomes Day of infusion through to Week 84 Incidence of biopsy confirmed acute rejection according to the Banff classification criteria
Long-term safety Day of infusion through to Week 84 Number of transplant recipient subjects with TEAEs, including SAEs, as assessed by CTCAE v5.0
Immunosuppression Day of infusion through to Week 84 Ability to reduce immunosuppression as measured by the proportion of subjects receiving tacrolimus monotherapy at Week 84
Graft localization Day of infusion through to Week 84 Graft localization of TX200-TR101 cells as measured by the presence of CD4+ CAR+ cells in the renal transplant biopsy
Chronic graft related outcomes Day of infusion through to Week 84 Incidence of chronic graft rejection according to the Banff criteria for chronic rejection
