A Study of Renal Autologous Cell Therapy (REACT) in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease

September 23, 2024 updated by: Prokidney

A Phase 3 Randomized Controlled Study of REACT in Participants With Type 2 Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease (REGEN-016)

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy (including durability) of up to 2 REACT injections given 3 months (+30 days) apart and delivered percutaneously into biopsied and non-biopsied contralateral kidneys in participants with T2DM and CKD.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Randomized multi-center, blinded intervention, two cohort , study whereby eligible participants will be randomized 1:1, prior to kidney biopsy, to 1 of 2 cohorts. Cohort 1 participants will undergo sham procedures and be followed for 5 years post last simulated injection.. Cohort 2 participants will receive 2 REACT injections 3 months apart (+30 days) and be followed for 5 years post last injection of the investigational product.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. The participant is male or female, 30 to 80 years of age on the date of informed consent.
  2. The participant has a clinical diagnosis of T2DM in their health record.
  3. The participant has a clinical diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy as the underlying cause of renal disease (diagnosis does not have to be confirmed via renal biopsy) in their health record.
  4. The participant has a serum glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) less than 10% at the Screening Visit.
  5. The participant has a documented clinical diagnosis of an eGFR greater than or equal to 20 and less than or equal to 44 mL/min/1.73m², not requiring renal dialysis.
  6. The participant has an urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) of greater than or equal to 300 and less than or equal to 5,000 mg/g.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. The participant has a history of type 1 diabetes mellitus.
  2. The participant has a history of renal transplantation.
  3. The participant has a mean systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 140 mmHg and/or mean diastolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 90 mmHg at screening, across 3 measurements while seated.
  4. The participant has hemoglobin level less than 10 g/dL and is not responsive to the standard medical intervention for CKD-related anemia prior to randomization.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Double

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Experimental (REACT injections)
Participants randomized to the experimental arm will receive 2 injections of REACT.
Participants receiving institutional standard of care will have a kidney biopsy followed by 2 REACT injections into biopsied and non-biopsied contralateral kidneys 3 months (+30 days) apart and will be followed for 5 years (60 months) since last REACT injection.
Sham Comparator: Sham Procedure
Participants randomized to the Sham Comparator arm will have 2 sham procedures
Participants receiving institutional standard of care will have 2 sham procedures that simulate real biopsy and injection procedure. No tissue is taken during biopsy and nothing is injected into kidney. The second sham procedure will occur 3 months (+30 days) after the first sham procedure. Participants will be followed for 5 years (60 months) since last sham REACT injection.
