Evaluating T-cell response in patients with chronic kidney disease

Official title: Assessment of T-cell Response and In-vitro Proof-of-concept of T-cell Engineering in Chronic End-stage Kidney Disease Patients.

Run by Centre Hospitalier Régional d'Orléans · NCT06474169 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is trying to understand how the immune system works in patients with end-stage kidney disease to see if improving T-cell function can help reduce their risk of infections.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older who have been diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, particularly those at the end-stage.

Probably not a fit

Patients with chronic progressive infections, prior organ transplants, or those who have received immunosuppressive treatments in the last two years may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to assess the immune response in patients suffering from chronic kidney disease, particularly focusing on those with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). It seeks to define the immunodeficiency characteristics of T cells in these patients and provide an in-vitro proof-of-concept for T-cell engineering. By analyzing blood samples, the study will explore the relationship between T-cell function and the increased risk of infections in ESKD patients, which is a significant cause of mortality in this population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved understanding and management of immune deficiencies in chronic kidney disease patients, potentially reducing infection-related complications.

How similar studies have gone: While the approach of assessing T-cell responses in ESKD is relatively novel, similar studies have shown promise in understanding immune responses in other chronic conditions.
