Brief summary

REGEND003, which consists of human kidney progenitor cells, demonstrates promising potential in repairing kidney injury. The purpose of this study is to assess the saftey and tolerability of REGEND003 on patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Chronic Kidney Disease. It is an exploratory study with multi-centered, randomized, controlled, single-blinded, dose-escalated designs.

Inclusion criteria

* Male or female, aged 30 to 75 years at the time of signing the informed consent form; * Diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus for at least 1 year; * Diagnosed with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD); * Voluntarily sign the informed consent form, be able to cooperate in completing study-related procedures and examinations, capable of adequately recording or describing changes in their condition, and demonstrate strong compliance.

Exclusion criteria

* Females who are pregnant, nursing, or planning to be pregnant within a year after using this product (or males whose spouse planning to be pregnant); * At the time of screening, subject who is positive in each of treponema pallidum antibody (TP-Ab), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody test. Hepatitis B virus carriers with stable current condition can be enrolled. Cured hepatitis C patients with negative result in HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) test can be enrolled as well. * Presence of a current or prior history of malignant tumor at screening (with the exception of those with disease-free survival for more than 2 years, or malignancies deemed to be of low aggressiveness as assessed by the investigator). * Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus; * Patients undergoing regular hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis; * Presence of severe acute complications of diabetes or CKD requiring hospitalization within 2 weeks prior to screening; * Presence of more than one episode of hypoglycemic coma (blood glucose ≤3.9 mmol/L) within 1 month prior to screening; * Patients intolerant to renal puncture/intrarenal injection procedures; * Patients with diagnosis of acute kidney injury, congenital or hereditary kidney diseases, renal atrophy, or other renal conditions deemed ineligible by the investigator, as well as patients with a history of kidney transplantation at screening; * Presence of severe systemic diseases within 6 months prior to screening and judged by the investigator as unsuitable for the study; * Patients requiring long-term anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy who, in the investigator's judgment, cannot discontinue medication 1 week prior to renal puncture/intrarenal injection procedures; * Patients with suicidal risk, history of psychiatric disorders, or history of epilepsy at screening; * Patients with severe arrhythmias or heart conduction disorders (degree II or above) in 12-lead ECG test at screening; * Patients participated in other clinical trials with interventions within 1 month prior to screening; * Subject with assessed survival time of less than 1 year by investigators at screening; * Investigators, co-investigators, study coordinators, employees of participating investigators or research centers, or family members of the above individuals; * Any condition that, in the investigator's judgment, may increase subject risk or interfere with the clinical trial.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Adverse Event (AE) associated with the Cell TherapyWithin 24 weeks post-treatmentThe incidence and severity of adverse events will be evaluated.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change from Baseline in Kidney VolumeWinthin 24 weeks post-treatmentKidney volume provides key insights in many clinical situations. Abnormal kidney volumes often signal problems.
Complications associated with Intrarenal InjectionWithin 24 weeks post-treatmentThe incidence will be evaluated.
Change from Baseline in Concentration of C-Reactive ProteinWithin 24 weeks post-treatmentC-Reactive Protein is a marker of inflammation in the body.
Change from Baseline in Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR)Within 24 weeks post-treatmentGFR is a critical measurement of kidney function, reflecting how efficiently the kidneys filter blood
Change from Baseline in Concentration of Serum CreatinineWithin 24 weeks post-treatmentA creatinine test is a measure of how well the kidneys are doing their job of filtering waste from the blood.
Change from Baseline in 24-Hour Urinary Protein ExcretionWithin 24 weeks post-treatmentA 24-hour urine protein test measures the amount of albumin (the most common protein filtered in the kidney) in the urine over 24 hours.
Change from Baseline in Renal Cortical Thickness (RCT)Within 24 weeks post-treatmentRCT has also been used in the diagnosis of chronic kidney disease. With the progression of the disease, RCT decreases.
Changes from Baseline in the Outcomes from Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOL) SurveyWithin 24 weeks post-treatmentThe Kidney Disease Quality of Life (KDQOL) survey has long been used to assess the burden, symptoms/problems, and effects of kidney disease on a patient's quality of life. The minimal value is 0 and the maximal value is 100. A higher score means a better outcome.
Change from Baseline in Blood PressureWithin 24 weeks post-treatmentBoth systolic and diastolic blood pressures are assessed.
Change from Baseline in Urine Albumin-Creatinine Ratio (uACR)Within 24 weeks post-treatmentA urine albumin-creatinine ratio (uACR) is a urine (pee) test that help to understand the overall kidney health. A high uACR may be a sign of kidney disease.
Time from Injection to First Kidney Disease Progression (KDP)Within 24 weekd post-treatmentKDP is assessed by stage of disease, mortality and continous decreasing of GFR.
