Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this protocol is to treat an intermediate-sized population with chronic kidney disease (CKD) including kidney transplant recipients. The protocol uses allogeneic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). MSC infusion may be delivered 1) intravenous or 2) intravenous plus intra-arterial to both kidneys. Individuals will have subsequent follow up for safety evaluations. Repeat dosing is allowed.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

MSC

Individuals with chronic kidney disease (including a kidney transplant that is losing function) will receive allogeneic, bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC). Two administration routes will be used. Repeat dosing is allowed.

Allogeneic, vertebral bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSC)

Intervention Type DRUG

1\) intravenous infusion or 2) combined intravenous plus intra-arterial (to kidney) infusion of cells. Total dose: 200x10\^6 MSC (administered over 15 minutes to 2 hours). Repeat dosing allowed at 6 month intervals.

* Hemoglobin A1c ≤9%, if diabetes mellitus present
* If kidney transplant recipient, must have eGFR\<60 mL/min/1.73m2 and evidence of progressive kidney function loss over ≥6 months
* Ability to give informed consent

Exclusion Criteria

* Anemia (hemoglobin \<8.5 g/dL)
* Body weight \>150 kg or BMI \>50

* Kidney failure requiring ongoing kidney replacement therapy including hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis
* Active, high-dose immunosuppression therapy (e.g. chronic prednisone ≥20 mg daily)
* Solid organ transplantation history; excluding kidney transplant
* Active treatment for acute cellular rejection, in kidney transplant recipients
* Recent cardiovascular event (hospitalization for myocardial infarction, stroke, congestive heart failure (NYHA class ≥III or ejection fraction ≤30%) within 3 months or uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias (e.g. ventricular arrhythmia, supraventricular tachycardia and bradyarrhythmia)
* History of liver cirrhosis
* Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma requiring daily medication
* History of recurring blood clotting disorder (thromboembolism: pulmonary embolism, deep venous thrombosis) requiring chronic anticoagulation therapy
* Pregnancy
* Unwilling to use contraception for at least 2 months after MSC infusion if sexually active and able to become pregnant or father a child.
* Active malignancy
* Active infection (e.g. systemic or specific organ involvement such as pneumonia or osteomyelitis; in kidney transplant recipients, active BK nephropathy)
* Recent COVID-19 infection, within the last 1 month
* History of hepatitis B or C (without cure), or HIV infection
* History of allergic reaction to cellular products (i.e. blood transfusions, platelets)
* Active tobacco use
* Illicit drug use and excessive alcohol use
* Presence of psychosocial issues (e.g., uncontrolled mental illness, unpredictable childcare or eldercare responsibilities, irregular/ inflexible work schedule) that may interfere with the ability to complete all study procedures
* Anticipating prolonged travel or other physical restrictions that would prohibit return for scheduled study visits.
* Inability to give informed consent
