Diabetic nephropathy is the most common cause of end stage renal failure. We assessed the safety, tolerability, and explored therapeutic effects of adult allogeneic bone-marrow derived mesenchymal precursor cells (MPC) in patients with moderate to severe diabetic nephropathy. Multicenter, randomized, double-blind, dose-escalating, sequential, placebo-controlled trial assessing a single intravenous (IV) infusion of allogeneic MPC (United States adopted name: rexlemestrocel-L) 150 × 106 (n = 10), 300 × 106 (n = 10) or placebo (n = 10) in adults with diabetic nephropathy with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 20–50 ml/min/1.73 m2. Thirty patients at three Australian centers were enrolled between July 2013 and June 2014 and randomized 2:1, in two sequential dose cohorts, to receive rexlemestrocel-L or placebo. Study duration was 60 weeks. Primary endpoint was safety and tolerability. Primary exploratory efficacy endpoint was change from baseline in eGFR and directly measured GFR by 99Tc-DTPA plasma clearance (mGFR) at 12 weeks post-infusion. The trial was registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01843387). All patients completed the study and were included in analyses applied to the intention to treat population. There were no acute adverse events (AEs) associated with infusion and no treatment-related AEs or serious AEs were deemed treatment-related by investigators. No patients developed persistent donor specific anti-HLA antibodies. Relative to placebo, a single IV rexlemestrocel-L infusion showed trends of stabilizing or improving eGFR and mGFR at week 12. The adjusted least squares mean (LSM ± SE) differences from placebo in changes from baseline at 12 weeks in the rexlemestrocel-L groups were 4.4 ± 2.16 and 1.6 ± 2.15 ml/min/1.73 m2 for eGFR and 4.1 ± 2.75 and 3.9 ± 2.75 for mGFR for the 150 × 106 and 300 × 106 cell groups, respectively. This study demonstrates the safety of rexlemestrocel-L in diabetic nephropathy with suggestive effects on renal function to be confirmed in larger, appropriately powered trials. We report the first clinical trial of adult, bone-marrow derived allogeneic mesenchymal precursor cells (MPCs) in diabetic nephropathy patients. Our findings demonstrate the safety of a single infusion of MPCs in adults with type 2 diabetes and moderate to severe renal impairment. Importantly, we observed no immunological evidence of sensitization to cell therapy following a single infusion. Larger, longer duration studies are needed to confirm a signal of efficacy on renal function, as assessed by glomerular filtration rate. These studies have implications for new treatment options for diabetic kidney disease. Current treatment of diabetic nephropathy reduces progression to renal failure by only 16-25%. Multiple preclinical studies have demonstrated intravenous mesenchymal lineage cells preserve or improve renal function and histology. We report the first trial of adult, allogeneic bone-marrow derived mesenchymal precursor cells (MPCs) in adult type 2 diabetic nephropathy patients. Our findings demonstrate the safety of a single infusion of MPCs. Importantly, there was no immunological evidence of sensitization to cell therapy following a single infusion. Larger, longer studies are needed to confirm a potential signal of efficacy on renal function. Further studies of this cell therapy have implications for a new treatment option in the preservation of renal function.
