The general aim of the present study is to test a cell therapy with autologous ex-vivo expanded mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) as a strategy to induce tolerance in living-donor kidney transplant recipients. MSCs will be prepared accordingly to established protocols, starting from bone marrow explants of living-donor kidney transplant recipients obtained 3-4 months before kidney transplant. From these samples, MSCs will be expanded in Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) approved facilities and used for the present study in patients undergoing kidney transplantation.

Biological Mesenchymal Stromal Cells

Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Experimental

A single intravenous infusion of ex-vivo expanded autologous MSCs will be performed in patients in addition to the living-donor kidney transplantation. 2x10 elevated to sxth power MSCs per kilogram body weight previously isolated from the same recipient will be infused intravenously the day before the kidney transplant procedure.
