First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether a patient's own modified white blood cells can help kidneys recover faster after acute injury from heart surgery. About 98 adults will receive either the cell therapy or a placebo. The goal is to see if the treatment shortens recovery time and is safe.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

modified white blood cells (autologous leukocyte cells)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new treatment to help kidneys recover faster after heart surgery, reducing the need for dialysis.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 98 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The treatment involves infusing modified cells, which carries risks like infection or immune reactions.
