Patient-Derived Stem Cell Therapy for Diabetic Kidney Disease

Overview

Información sobre este estudio

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of intra-arterially delivered mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSC) to a single kidney in one of two fixed doses at two time points in patients with progressive diabetic kidney disease. 

Diabetic kidney disease, also known as diabetic nephropathy, is the most common cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney failure requiring dialysis or kidney transplantation.  Regenerative, cell-based therapy applying MSCs holds promise to delay the progression of kidney disease in individuals with diabetes mellitus.  Our clinical trial will use MSCs processed from each study participant to test the ability of these cells to help repair kidney damages caused by diabetes.  Fat will be collected from the abdomen to produce the MSCs. A few months after the fat is collected, participants will then receive the stem cells into the kidney artery at two time points (Day 0 and Month 3). Participation in the trial will include approximately 4 on-site visits at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.  Some visits will require an overnight stay in the Clinical Research and Trials Unit. Several tests will be completed to assess the response to the stem cells, including two magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Participants will be followed for a total of 15 months after the first dose of stem cells are administered.
