Diabetic Kidney Disease study: Amimestrocel
Official title Safety and Efficacy of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (Amimestrocel ) in Diabetic Kidney Disease
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06969807
What this study is testing
What is Amimestrocel?
Amimestrocel is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for diabetic kidney disease (dkd).
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The study wants to see if Amimestrocel can safely improve kidney function or reduce protein loss in urine for patients whose diabetic kidney disease is getting worse.
- Who it's for
- Adults who have progressive diabetic kidney disease.
- What's involved
- Participants receive infusions of Amimestrocel, a type of stem cell from umbilical cords, and undergo regular check‑ups and lab tests to monitor kidney health.
- Time commitment
- The trial lasts several months with multiple clinic visits for the stem cell infusions and follow‑up assessments.
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
A plain-language read of the study's public ClinicalTrials.gov listing. The study team confirms the details.
