First seen Dec 12, 2025 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This early-stage study tests whether a stem cell infusion from the same donor can allow kidney transplant recipients to safely stop taking lifelong anti-rejection medications. Ten adults with a well-functioning kidney from a matched living donor will receive the infusion after a mild conditioning treatment. The goal is to see if the body can accept the kidney without drugs, reducing side effects and improving quality of life.
