Study Summary

This trial is testing if it's safe and effective to give marrow cells from a deceased donor to people getting a kidney transplant.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-65 with End Stage Renal Disease who haven't had a kidney transplant yet, match the donor in at least one HLA locus, and can sign informed consent. They must agree to use contraception for a year post-transplant and have no allergies to rabbit protein or history of certain diseases. Donors should be brain-dead individuals aged 16-55 without certain infections or malignancies.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the safety and effectiveness of combining kidney transplants from deceased donors with vertebral body marrow cell infusions. It's a phase 1 trial where all participants receive the same treatment to see how well it works and what doses are safe.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to immune suppression such as increased risk of infection, possible adverse reaction to rabbit ATG (a medication used in transplantation), or complications from low dose irradiation used during the procedure.
