This trial is for adults aged 30-80 with Type 2 Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) not on dialysis, with an eGFR of 20-50 mL/min/1.73m². Participants must have stable blood pressure under control with medication, no history of type 1 diabetes or kidney transplants, hemoglobin levels above 9 g/dL, and HbA1c below 10%.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of Renal Autologous Cell Therapy (REACT). Participants will receive up to two REACT injections six months apart directly into their kidneys to see if it helps CKD in those with Type 2 Diabetes.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not explicitly listed but may include reactions at the injection site or complications related to the procedure since cells are injected into the kidney using a needle through the skin.
