Chronic Kidney Diseases Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus | Biological: Renal Autologous Cell Therapy (REACT®) | Phase 2 |
The objective of this study is to assess the safety, efficacy, and durability of up to two REACT® injections delivered percutaneously into biopsied and non-biopsied contralateral kidneys on renal function progression in two different cohorts of subjects with T1DM or T2DM and CKD:
- Cohort 1: Two scheduled REACT® injections given 3 months (+60 days) within 24-month follow-up
- Cohort 2: One scheduled REACT® injection with a possible second REACT® injection, no less than 3 months after the first one, within 30 days (+30 days) of meeting a renal function redose trigger (triggered up to 18 months following the first REACT® injection) within 24-month follow-up.

---|---|
Experimental: 2 REACT® injections
Cohort 1 subjects will receive 2 REACT® injections in the biopsied and non-biopsied contralateral kidneys 3 months apart (+60 days).

Biological: Renal Autologous Cell Therapy (REACT®)
Autologous selected renal cells (SRC) |
Experimental: 1 REACT® Injection
Cohort 2 subjects will receive 1 REACT® injection into the biopsied kidney and if a pre-defined trigger is met, will undergo a second REACT® injection into the contralateral kidney.

- Improvement in renal function progression rate as indicated by the change from pre-injection baseline value in total (acute + chronic) slope of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over 24 months [ Time Frame: Screening thru month 34 ]
- Procedural and investigational product-related treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) obtained through 24 months after the last REACT injection. [ Time Frame: Screening thru 24 months after the last injection of study drug ]

Ages Eligible for Study: | 30 Years to 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or female aged 30 to 80 years, inclusive, on the date informed consent is signed.
- Clinical diagnosis of T1DM or T2DM, controlled per institutional standard of care.
- The subject has a clinical diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy as the underlying cause of renal disease (diagnosis does not have to be confirmed via renal biopsy).
- The subject has a serum glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level less than 10% at the Screening Visit.
- The subject has a documented clinical diagnosis of an eGFR between 20 and 50 mL/min/1.73m² inclusive not requiring renal dialysis.
Exclusion Criteria:
- The subject has a history of renal transplantation.
-
The subject has a mean systolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 140 mmHg and/or mean diastolic blood pressure greater than or equal to 90 mmHg at screening.
Subjects with blood pressure outside of this range prior to biopsy/injection may continue if approved by the Medical Monitor.
- The subject has hemoglobin levels less than 10 g/dL and is not responsive to the standard medical intervention for CKD-related anemia prior to randomization.
