About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

This is a comparative, prospective, non-interventional study to evaluate immune response in patients with chronic kidney disease. The primary objective is to define immunodeficiency (phenotype and function of T cells) in patients with end-stage kidney disease. The second objective is to provide an in-vitro proof-of-concept of T-cell engineering in the context of end-stage kidney disease.

    healthy donors

    Treatment: 1 blood sample for each participant

Questions to ask the study team

  1. How often do I need to come in, and for how long each time?
  2. Are travel costs paid?
  3. Can I keep my own doctor?
