Kidney Transplant Rejection End Stage Renal Disease | Biological: TX200-TR101 | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
This is a multicentre, first-in-human, open-label, single ascending dose, dose-ranging study of autologous, chimeric antigen receptor T regulatory cells (CAR-Treg) in HLA-A2 mismatched living donor kidney transplant recipients, with a control cohort of mismatched kidney transplant recipients of similar immunological risk.The aim is for the CAR-Tregs to recognise the HLA-A2 molecule present on the donated kidney and subsequently induce and maintain immunological tolerance to the organ.
The study requires three different types of participants - transplant recipients who will receive the study treatment TX200-TR101; control participants, who are transplant recipients who will not receive the study treatment; and transplant donors, who will donate their kidney to the transplant recipients.

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Treatment group
Subjects undergo kidney transplant as per planned standard of care and are administered study drug post transplantation, up to 15 subjects.
|
Biological: TX200-TR101
TX200-TR101 is an autologous gene therapy medicinal product composed of Treg cells (CD4+/CD45RA+/CD25+/CD127low/neg) that have been ex vivo expanded and transduced with a lentiviral vector encoding for a CAR to recognize HLA-A*02. Treatment will be given via an IV infusion at a pre-defined timepoint several weeks after transplant. Three, single ascending dose cohorts of TX200-TR101 are planned and an additional expansion cohort.
Other Name: CAR-Tregs |
No Intervention: Control group and Transplant donors
Control group: Subjects undergo kidney transplant as per planned standard of care with no study drug administered, up to 6 subjects. Transplant donors: Transplant donors for each subject in the treatment and control groups, up to 21 subjects. |
- Safety and Tolerability [ Time Frame: 28 days post infusion ]Safety and tolerability of TX200-TR101 infusion evaluated by incidence and grade of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), including serious adverse events (SAEs) according to CTCAE V5.0.
- Acute graft related outcomes [ Time Frame: Day of infusion through to Week 84 ]Incidence of biopsy confirmed acute rejection according to the Banff classification criteria
- Long-term safety [ Time Frame: Day of infusion through to Week 84 ]Number of transplant recipient subjects with TEAEs, including SAEs, as assessed by CTCAE v5.0
- Immunosuppression [ Time Frame: Day of infusion through to Week 84 ]Ability to reduce immunosuppression as measured by the proportion of subjects receiving tacrolimus monotherapy at Week 84
- Graft localization [ Time Frame: Day of infusion through to Week 84 ]Graft localization of TX200-TR101 cells as measured by the presence of CD4+ CAR+ cells in the renal transplant biopsy
- Chronic graft related outcomes [ Time Frame: Day of infusion through to Week 84 ]Chronic graft dysfunction as measured by estimated glomerular filtration rate
- Chronic graft related outcomes [ Time Frame: Day of infusion through to Week 84 ]Incidence of chronic graft rejection according to the Banff criteria for chronic rejection
