Summary

This Phase 3 trial tests whether a cell therapy called REACT (rilparencel) can slow kidney decline in 685 adults with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. Participants receive either two injections of their own kidney cells or sham procedures. The study measures changes in kidney function and time to serious kidney events like dialysis or transplant.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: Renal Autologous Cell Therapy (REACT/rilparencel)
What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide a new way to slow kidney function loss and delay dialysis or transplant in people with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease.
What could go wrong: This is an early Phase 3 trial, so results are not yet proven. The therapy requires a kidney biopsy and two injections, which carry risks like bleeding or infection. It may not work better than sham procedures.
