ProKidney Corp. (Nasdaq: PROK) (“ProKidney”), a leading late clinical-stage cellular therapeutics company focused on chronic kidney disease (CKD), today announced the publication of the trial design and early data analysis from REGEN-003, a Phase 2 clinical study of Renal Autologous Cell Therapy (REACT®), in the Journal of Blood Purification. The paper, titled Renal Autologous Cell Therapy (REACT) in Type 2 Diabetes with Late Stage 4 Diabetes-Related Chronic Kidney Disease: Trial Design and Early Analysis, was published online and will appear later this year in the print edition of the Journal (DOI: doi.org/10.1159/000527582).
“In this study, we believe we have demonstrated the potential of REACT to delay the need for dialysis in patients with late CKD Stage 4 diabetic kidney disease (DKD),” said Joseph Stavas, M.D., ProKidney’s SVP, Head of Global Clinical Development, and lead author of the manuscript. “This is a high-risk patient population with seriously reduced kidney function. The patients that took part in this study had an average estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of approximately 15.5 ml/min/1.73m2 (eGFR CKD-EPI-sCr) These patients would be expected to progress to end stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring dialysis, and due to comorbidities, they do not typically qualify for a kidney transplant.”
