Could stem cells save kidneys in diabetes?
NCT ID NCT06969807
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jul 15, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests a stem cell treatment called Amimestrocel in 120 people with diabetic kidney disease. The cells are given through an IV multiple times over 6 months. Researchers will check if it lowers protein in urine and improves kidney function. The goal is to see if this approach can slow down kidney damage caused by diabetes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Amimestrocel (umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal cells)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment to slow kidney damage and reduce protein leakage in people with diabetic kidney disease.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 120 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment involves multiple infusions and could have side effects like infusion reactions or infection.
