New treatment option for Acute Kidney Injury
Official title Modified Autologous Leukocyte Cells for the Treatment of Acute Kidney Injury After Cardiac Surgery
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07052513
What this study is testing
What is M2RLAB 001?
M2RLAB 001 is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for acute kidney injury.
Also referred to as Autologous Leukocyte Cells.
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 purpose of this clinical trial is to assess the efficacy and safety of cell therapy with modified leukocyte cells from the participant himself/herself versus placebo in participants who develop Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) within the first 48 hours after cardiac surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does cell therapy reduce the recovery time of kidney function?
- Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
- You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance.
