Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Surrogate / Intermediate Efficacy Endpoint -eGFR Slope
18 months after the 135th participant receives their first injection / sham.

The difference in annualized eGFR slope between the rilparencel and sham cohorts (approximately 18 months after the 135th participant receives their first injection/sham) using the 2021 Chronic Kidney Disease-Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) serum creatinine-based equation.

Clinical Endpoint
From date of first injection until the date of first event: 40% reduction in eGFR, eGFR < 15 mL/min/1.73m² and/or chronic dialysis, and or renal transplant or date of renal or cardiovascular death, whichever came first, assessed up to 94 months.

The time from first injection to the earliest of: * At least 40% reduction in eGFR, sustained for 30 days, OR * eGFR \<15 mL/min/1.73m² with corresponding two-sided 95% CI, sustained for 30 days and/or chronic dialysis, and/or kidney transplant OR * Renal or cardiovascular death

Improvement in renal function progression rate as indicated by the change from pre-injection baseline value in total (acute + chronic) slope of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the CKD-EPI 2009 equation
Screening thru month 28
Procedural and investigational product-related treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) obtained through 18 months after the last REACT injection.
Screening thru 18 months after the last injection of study drug
Procedure and/or Product Related Adverse Events
Through 24 months following last REACT injection

Percentage of subjects with procedures and/or product related adverse events by System Organ Class and Preferred Term

Change in Renal Function
Through 24 months following last REACT injection for active arm and at least 12 months following last REACT injection for the deferred arm

Serial measurements of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) obtained pre-randomization and at three-month intervals through 24 months after the last REACT injection in the active treatment group and at least 12 months post last REACT injection in the deferred treatment group.

Assess change in eGFR and observe incidence of renal-specific procedure and/or product related adverse events (AEs) through 18 months following two Renal Autologous Cell Therapy (REACT) injections [Safety].
18 months following last REACT injection

The primary objective is to assess the safety and optimal delivery of Renal Autologous Cell Therapy (REACT) injected at one site in a recipient kidney as measured by procedure- and/or product related adverse events (AEs) through 18 months post-treatment.

Secondary Endpoints

Secondary Endpoint: Time from first injection to at least a 40% reduction in eGFR sustained for 30 days.
From date of first injection until the date of 40% reduction in eGFR assessed up to 94 months.
Secondary Endpoint: Time from first injection to eGFR < 15 mL/min/1.73m² sustained for 30 days and/or chronic dialysis, and/or kidney transplant.
From date of first injection until the date of eGFR < 15 mL/min/1.73m² assessed up to 94 months.
Secondary Endpoint: All-cause mortality.
From date of first injection to all-cause mortality assessed up to 94 months.

Interventions

NameTypeDescription
Renal Autologous Cell Therapy (REACT/ rilparencel)BIOLOGICALParticipants will have a kidney biopsy followed approximately12 weeks later with a rilparencel injection into the biopsied kidney, then, approximately 12 weeks later a rilparencel injection into their contralateral kidney.
Sham ComparatorPROCEDUREParticipants will have sham procedures that simulate real biopsy and injection procedure. No tissue is taken during biopsy and nothing is injected into kidney. The 2 injection/ sham procedures will occur approximately 12 weeks apart.
Renal Autologous Cell Therapy (REACT)BIOLOGICALAutologous selected renal cells (SRC)
Renal BiopsyPROCEDUREa procedure in which a small sample of kidney tissue is removed

Frequently asked questions about Renal Autologous Cell Therapy

What is Renal Autologous Cell Therapy used for?

Renal Autologous Cell Therapy (REACT, rilparencel) is an investigational cell therapy being studied for chronic kidney disease, including chronic kidney disease associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus and congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract. It is being developed by ProKidney Corp. (PROK) and is currently in clinical development.

What does Renal Autologous Cell Therapy target?

Renal Autologous Cell Therapy (REACT, rilparencel) is a renal autologous cell therapy, meaning it uses a patient's own kidney cells. The therapy is designed to address chronic kidney disease by potentially restoring kidney function. Its specific molecular target has not been disclosed.

Who makes Renal Autologous Cell Therapy?

Renal Autologous Cell Therapy (REACT, rilparencel) is being developed by ProKidney Corp., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the stock exchange under the ticker PROK. ProKidney is focused on developing cell therapies for chronic kidney disease.

What phase is Renal Autologous Cell Therapy in?

Renal Autologous Cell Therapy (REACT, rilparencel) is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational therapy and has not been approved by the FDA. The Phase 3 trial, called PROACT, is active but not recruiting participants.

What clinical trials is Renal Autologous Cell Therapy in?

Renal Autologous Cell Therapy (REACT, rilparencel) has been studied in several clinical trials. These include NCT02836574, a Phase 2 study in type 2 diabetics with chronic kidney disease; NCT04115345, a Phase 1 study in patients with chronic kidney disease from congenital anomalies; NCT05018416, a Phase 2 study in type 1 or 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease; and NCT05099770, a Phase 3 study in type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease.

Is Renal Autologous Cell Therapy the same as REACT?

Yes, Renal Autologous Cell Therapy is also known as REACT and rilparencel. These names refer to the same investigational cell therapy being developed by ProKidney Corp. for chronic kidney disease.
