Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial is testing if using donor stem cells is safe and tolerable for people with chronic kidney disease. The stem cells might help repair their damaged kidneys. Stem cell therapy has shown potential in treating kidney diseases and aiding in kidney regeneration.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for adults aged 30-80 with chronic kidney disease, specifically those not on dialysis or with a transplant history. Participants must have certain levels of kidney function and protein in their urine, and can't be pregnant, heavy smokers, drug users, or have uncontrolled diseases like severe anemia.

Interventions

Allogeneic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC)-Single Infusion (Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy)
Allogeneic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC)-Two Infusions (Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy)

Trial OverviewThe study tests the safety of using stem cells from fat tissue to treat chronic kidney disease. Patients will receive either one or two infusions of these cells to see how well they tolerate them and any potential benefits.
