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 Rilparencel

What is rilparencel?

Rilparencel is an investigational autologous cell therapy being developed by ProKidney Corp. for chronic kidney disease, including patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is also known as Renal Autologous Cell Therapy, or REACT. It is not yet approved and remains in clinical development.

What is rilparencel used for?

Rilparencel is being studied for chronic kidney disease, including diabetic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Trial populations have also included type 1 diabetes and chronic kidney disease from congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract. It is investigational and has not been approved for any indication.

Who makes rilparencel?

Rilparencel is developed by ProKidney Corp., which trades under the ticker PROK. The company sponsors the clinical program, including the Phase 3 Proact study and earlier Phase 1 and Phase 2 studies of the therapy in chronic kidney disease.

What phase is rilparencel in?

Rilparencel is in Phase 2 development overall, with a Phase 3 trial also under way. The Phase 3 Proact study in type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease is active and not recruiting. Two completed Phase 2 studies and one completed Phase 1 study support the program.

What clinical trials is rilparencel in?

Rilparencel has been studied in four trials. NCT05099770 is the active Phase 3 Proact study in type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease. Completed studies include NCT05018416 (REGEN-007, Phase 2), NCT04115345 (Phase 1 in CKD from congenital anomalies), and NCT03270956 (Phase 2 in diabetic CKD).

Is rilparencel the same as REACT?

Yes. Rilparencel is also known as Renal Autologous Cell Therapy, abbreviated REACT. The names refer to the same investigational cell therapy developed by ProKidney Corp. for chronic kidney disease, so searches for REACT and for rilparencel point to the same program.
