Phase 1b/2a Trial of Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) From an HLA-partially Matched Related or Unrelated Donor After TCRαβ+ T-cell/CD19+ B-cell Depletion for Patients Who Will Receive a Kidney Transplant (KT) From the Same HSCT/KT Donor
This is a single center, non-randomized, non-controlled open-label phase 1b/2a trial of performing sequential αβdepleted-HSCT and KT in patients requiring KT to prevent kidney rejection post-KT, in the absence of any post-KT immunosuppression, to abrogate the need for lifelong immunosuppression, the risk of chronic rejection and, ultimately, the need for repeated transplantation.
• Anticipated need for kidney transplant due to:
• a. Underlying genetic/immunologic disease the following conditions i. SIOD ii. FSGS iii. Cystinosis iv. SLE v. Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis vi. Renal vasculitis characterized by positivity of the presence of ANCA vii. Other genetic diseases leading to kidney disease requiring KT Or b. Patients who have rejected a previous KT regardless of the underlying disease
• Chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 3 or greater
• Steroids \< 0.5 mg/Kg/day
• The donor and recipient must be identical, as determined by high resolution typing, at least one allele of each of the following genetic loci: HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-Cw, HLA-DQB1 and HLA-DRB1
• Lansky/Karnofsky score \> 50; the Karnofsky Scale will be used in subjects ≥ 16 years of age, and the Lansky Scale will be used for those \< 16 years of age.
• Able to give informed consent or have an LAR available to provide consent
• Male and female subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use an effective means of birth control to avoid pregnancy throughout the transplant procedure, while on immunosuppression, and if the subject experiences any cGvHD
