First seen Feb 06, 2026 · Last updated Apr 16, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study is testing whether a drug called TCD601 (Siplizumab), combined with donor bone marrow cells and mild chemotherapy, can help kidney transplant recipients safely reduce or stop their lifelong anti-rejection medications. The goal is to help the body accept the new kidney without needing constant immune-suppressing drugs. Researchers are enrolling 18 adult patients who received a kidney from a living donor to test the safety and effectiveness of this approach.
