Summary

This study will enroll individuals who have end stage renal disease and who are undergoing a solitary kidney transplant. This study is investigating/evaluating the safety and effectiveness of collecting, expanding and infusing a specific certain type of immune cell known as Regulatory T cells (Treg cells) to renal transplant recipients who are using Zortress (Everolimus) as immunosuppressive therapy.

Treg cells, once they have been expanded in the laboratory to help prevent kidney rejection. Treg cells are collected from a participant's blood through a procedure called apheresis. Treg cells are a type of white blood cells that are able to suppress the activity of other immune cells responsible for organ rejection. The investigator plans to enroll 12 participants at the University of Kentucky.

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Treg

Collect white blood cells to isolate Treg cells for expansion. Once the blood cells are collected the cells will be cultured in the laboratory and will be expanded. After approximately 3 weeks in culture, the cells will have increased in number and be ready for the autologous Treg cell infusion.
