Individualised immunosuppression with intravenously administered donor-derived modified immune cells compared with standard of care in living donor kidney transplantation (TOL-2 Study): protocol for a multicentre, open-label, phase II, randomised controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Donor-derived modified immune cells (MIC) induced long-term specific immunosuppression against the allogeneic donor in preclinical models of transplantation. In a phase I clinical trial (TOL-1 Study), MIC treatment resulted in a cellular phenotype that was directly and indirectly suppressive to the recipient's immune system allowing for reduction of conventional immunosuppressive therapy. Here, we describe a protocol for a randomised controlled, multicentre phase-IIb clinical trial of individualised immunosuppression with intravenously administered donor MIC compared with standard-of-care (SoC) in living donor kidney transplantation (TOL-2 Study).

Methods and analysis

Sixty-three living donor kidney transplant recipients from six German transplant centres are ra
