Effect of BM-MSCs on Early Graft Function Recovery After DCD Kidney Transplant.

September 28, 2015 updated by: Changxi Wang, First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-Sen University

Effect of Bone Marrow-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (BM-MSCs) on Recovery of Poor Early Graft Function Post Kidney Transplantation From Chinese Donation After Citizen Death (DCD): A Multi-center Randomized Controlled Trial

This study is designed to investigate whether allogeneic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) can promote function recovery in patients with poor early graft function after kidney transplantation from Chinese Donation after Citizen Death (DCD). DCD kidney transplant recipients with poor early graft function (with or without dialysis) post transplant are equally randomized into MSCs group or control group. Patients in MSCs group are administered MSCs treatment. Allogeneic BM-MSCs (1*10^6/kg) from third party are given intravenously for four consecutive doses every week after enrollment. Patients in control group receive placebo. Renal allograft function (eGFR), rejection, patient/graft survival and severe adverse events up to 12 months post enrollment are monitored.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: MSCs group
Patients with early poor graft function receive allogeneic BM-MSCs at the dose of 1*10^6/kg every week for four consecutive doses.
BM-MSCs are from third-party healthy volunteer donors.
Other Names:
  • allogeneic bone marrow-derived MSCs
Placebo Comparator: Control group
Patients with early poor graft function receive placebo of MSCs, i.e. saline every week for four consecutive doses.
Saline is the placebo of MSCs in this study.
