Summary

This study tested a combination of an experimental drug (siplizumab), donor bone marrow cells, and mild chemotherapy in 4 kidney transplant recipients. The goal was to see if this approach could train the body to accept the new kidney without needing lifelong anti-rejection medication. The study was stopped early, so results are limited.
