Trial summary

Endothelial progenitor cells that reside in renal vasculature may be stimulated to initiate differentiation programs during episodes of injury. It is hypothesized that endothelial progenitor cells resident in the kidney can transition to a post-injury phenotype that promotes endothelial repair. Read more about this study

About this study

Endothelial progenitor cells that reside in renal vasculature may be stimulated to initiate differentiation programs during episodes of injury. It is hypothesized that endothelial progenitor cells resident in the kidney can transition to a post-injury phenotype that promotes endothelial repair.

Read the detailed description

Endothelial dysfunction is central to the pathophysiology of vascular ischemia, bacterial sepsis, toxin-induced thrombotic microangiopathy, and antibody-mediated kidney transplant rejection and often manifest with renal failure. With each of these diagnoses circulating components of the complement cascade bind to endothelial cells and induce disease progression through anaphylactic cellular messaging, monocyte homing, and direct cell membrane disruption. In response to injury during embryologic development avascular metanephric blastema initiate endothelial differentiation. Although circulating hematopoietic progenitor cells have shown therapeutic promise they incorporate into renal vasculature at very low density.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Cell isolationDiagnostic test

    Tissue from kidney biopsy will be used to isolate Cluster Differentiation 34+ cells.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Cell growth

    Tissue will be isolated and cell viability will be documented by rate of colony growth over one week per patient enrolled.

    Measured: 1 week

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Kidney disease progression

    Isolated cell growth will be compared to serum creatinine of patients

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Cell isolation in people with Kidney Diseases and Endothelial Dysfunction, run by Brigham and Women's Hospital at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cell growth (time frame: 1 week). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Aug 2022.
