Could your own cells heal kidneys after heart surgery?
NCT ID NCT07052513
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท 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 โ 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.
