Study Objectives and Endpoints

Objectives Endpoints
Primary Assess the feasibility of isolating and expanding Tregs and of intravenous infusion of ex vivo–expanded autologous polyclonal Tregs in kidney transplant recipients with subclinical graft inflammation Incidence of failure-to-treat
Assess the safety of intravenous infusion of ex vivo–expanded autologous polyclonal Tregs in kidney transplant recipients with subclinical graft inflammation Incidence of infusion reactions Incidence of patient reported adverse events Incidence of laboratory abnormalities Incidence of infection Incidence of malignancy Incidence of acute rejection Incidence of graft dysfunction Patient and graft survival
Secondary Assess the fate of infused Tregs in circulation Circulating Treg numbers Percentage of infused Tregs by deuterium tracking Intragraft Tregs in the kidney biopsy by IHC and deuterium tracking
Assess the impact of infused Tregs on graft inflammation Inflammatory cell density in the renal allograft by histopathology and IHC Urine cytokines and inflammatory gene expression levels
