Official title

Phase 1 Study of ChoironeX GalKO Porcine Thymokidney Xenotransplantation in End-Stage Renal Disease

Overview

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a GalKO Porcine Thymokidney can maintain renal function, without the need for dialysis, after transplantation into adult subjects with End Stage Renal Disease.

Interventions

  • Biological ChoironeX GalKO Porcine Thymokidney
    A constructed thymokidney from a genetically modified porcine donor will be preserved, packaged, transported and transplanted into the study subject at the study site in the same fashion as a human donor kidney. The thymokidney will remain in the subject throughout the subject's lifetime, or until thymokidney explant.

Primary outcome measures

  • Incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and adverse events of special interest (AESIs) from Day 0 through Month 6. [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Overall survival of the recipient without the need for chronic dialysis at Month 6. [Time frame: 6 months]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
  • Overall survival without the need for dialysis at Month 3. [Time frame: 3 months]
  • Graft survival free from hyperacute rejection at Day 3. [Time frame: 3 Days]
  • Incidence of acute and chronic xenograft rejection at Day 14, Months 3 and 6. [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Banff classification of xenograft pathology at biopsy. [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Renal filtration function as assessed by creatinine clearance (CrCl) by nuclear medicine scan at Day 14, Months 1, 3, and 6. [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Total number of clinically significant fluid electrolyte, hemodynamic, acid-base, and hematologic abnormalities requiring medical intervention per patient through Month 6. [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Total number of clinically significant mineral metabolism abnormalities requiring medical intervention per patient through Month 6 [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Incidences of severe proteinuria (i.e., urinary protein: creatinine ratio of >3.5 g/g) per patient through Month 6. [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Change from baseline in blood pressure at Months 3 and 6. [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Incidence of porcine-derived infectious complications through Month 6, in study subjects, site staff, or close personal contacts. [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Incidence of opportunistic infections (excluding zoonoses) through Month 6, in study subjects. [Time frame: 6 months]
  • Change from baseline in thymokidney size using ultrasound imaging at Day 14, 21, and Months 1-6. [Time frame: 6 months]
