Clinical Trial Summary

Transplant rejection is one of the biggest limitations in renal transplant procedures, where the kidney can undergo an acute, late acute, or chronic transplant rejection. With the advancement in transplantation protocols, acute survival of renal transplants has improved, but long-term survival is still unsatisfactory, as most of the renal transplants develop chronic graft rejection. Unfortunately, there is little the investigators know when it comes to improving long-term survival of renal transplants. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) have been shown to have immunosuppressive and repairing properties. The purpose of this study is to find out whether MSC in combination with standard therapy of antibody mediated rejection (ABMR) are more effective in preventing organ deterioration and maintaining kidney function.


Clinical Trial Description

Participants will be assigned to receive the full immunosuppressive therapy indicated to treat chronic ABMR (including plasmapheresis (PF) 7x, intravenous immune globulins 100 mg/kg 7x, corticosteroid) and MSC infusions (2x106cells/kg bw after PF) (Group 1) and be compared to historic controls according to "propensity score matching" (treated with immunosuppressive therapy alone (Group 2)). Patients will undergo MSC infusions at the start of the study after each PF. One year post- infusions, patients will be evaluated and undergo kidney biopsies. Blood collection will occur at regular intervals, serum creatinine and the estimated creatinine clearance will be monthly recorded. The transplanted kidney function and morphology (US Doppler) will be evaluated. ;
