Overview

Brief Summary

REGEND003, which consists of human kidney progenitor cells, demonstrates promising potential in repairing kidney injury. The purpose of this study is to assess the saftey and tolerability of REGEND003 on patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Chronic Kidney Disease. It is an exploratory study with multi-centered, randomized, controlled, single-blinded, dose-escalated designs.

  • Presence of more than one episode of hypoglycemic coma (blood glucose ≤3.9 mmol/L) within 1 month prior to screening;
  • Patients intolerant to renal puncture/intrarenal injection procedures;
  • Patients with diagnosis of acute kidney injury, congenital or hereditary kidney diseases, renal atrophy, or other renal conditions deemed ineligible by the investigator, as well as patients with a history of kidney transplantation at screening;
