10 GE Xenokidney: Porcine-derived kidney containing intentional genomic alterations for xenotransplantation
Study summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the 10 GE Xenokidney in patients with ESRD who are either not eligible for conventional allogeneic kidney transplantation (Group 1) or are on an Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network (OPTN) kidney transplant waitlist, but are more likely to die or go untransplanted within 5 years than receive a kidney transplant (Group 2).
The study consists of xenotransplantation followed by a 24-week Post-transplant Follow up Period (Part A) to evaluate the efficacy and safety objectives followed by a Long-term Follow-up Period (Part B) to evaluate participant survival, 10 GE Xenokidney survival, and screening for zoonotic infections. Part B will continue for the lifetime of the participant.

Primary outcome measure(s)
- Survival Rate of Patients with ESRD Receiving the 10 GE Xenokidney at 24 Weeks Post Transplant — Day 0 (day of xenotransplantation) to 24 weeks post transplant
Participant survival rate at 24 weeks post transplant. - Survival Rate of the 10 GE Xenokidney at 24 Weeks Post Transplant — Day 0 (day of xenotransplantation) to 24 weeks post transplant
10 GE Xenokidney survival rate at 24 weeks post transplant. 10 GE Xenokidney failure is defined as 10 GE Xenokidney nephrectomy. - Survival Time of Participants Receiving the 10 GE Xenokidney — Day 0 (day of xenotransplantation) until death for any cause, assessed at least every 24 weeks after transplantation while the participant is alive, up to 50 years
Participant survival post transplant. Participant survival is defined as time from xenotransplantation to death for any cause - Survival Time of the 10 GE Xenokidney (Overall Survival) — Day 0 (day of xenotransplantation) until start of chronic dialysis, nephrectomy, or death, whichever occurs first, assessed at least every 24 weeks after transplantation while the participant is alive and the xenokidney is functional, up to 50 years
Overall survival of the 10 GE Xenokidney post transplant. Overall survival time of the 10 GE Xenokidney is defined as time from xenotransplantation to 10 GE Xenokidney nephrectomy or death, whichever occurs first. - Survival Time of the 10 GE Xenokidney (Death-censored Survival) — Day 0 (day of xenotransplantation) until start of chronic dialysis, nephrectomy, or death, whichever occurs first, assessed at least every 24 weeks after transplantation while the participant is alive and the xenokidney is functional, up to 50 years
Death-censored survival 10 GE Xenokidney. Death-censored survival time of the 10 GE Xenokidney is defined as time from xenotransplantation to 10 GE Xenokidney nephrectomy censored for death. - 10 GE Xenokidney Function Post Transplant (Endogenous GFR) — At 24 weeks post transplant
Endogenous measured GFR (24-hour urine creatinine clearance) at 24 weeks post transplant. - 10 GE Xenokidney Function Post Transplant (Exogenous GFR) — At 24 weeks post transplant

Change in the EQ-5D-5L from baseline to 24 weeks post transplant. The EQ-5D-5L questionnaire assesses health-related quality of life across 5 categories (Mobility, Self-Care, Usual Activities, Pain/Discomfort, and Anxiety/Depression). Each category has 5 levels, ranging from 1 (no problems) to 5 (extreme problems or inability to perform the activity). Higher scores indicate a worse health outcome (more mobility issues, greater pain, more anxiety, etc). - Quality of Life in Participants Receiving the 10 GE Xenokidney by Standardized Outcomes in Nephrology Life Participant (SONG-LP) — Baseline to 24 weeks post transplant
Change in SONG-LP from baseline to 24 weeks post transplant. The SONG-LP assesses participation in different life activities over the past month. The minimum score (worst outcome) is 4 (if all responses are "1" - Never) and the maximum score (best outcome) is 20 (if all responses are "5" - Always). Higher scores indicate a better health outcome (greater ability to participate in activities). - Quality of Life in Participants Receiving the 10 GE Xenokidney by Kidney Transplant Questionnaire (KTQ) — Baseline to 24 weeks post transplant
Change in KTQ from baseline to 24 weeks post transplant. Each question in the KTQ is scored on a 1 to 7 scale with: 1 = worst outcome (eg, "A very great deal of trouble or distress" / "All of the time") and 7 = best outcome (eg, "No trouble or distress" / "None of the time"). Higher scores indicate a better outcome, meaning less distress, fewer symptoms, and better well-being. - Quality of Life in Participants Receiving the 10 GE Xenokidney by Patient Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) — At 24 weeks post transplant
PGI-C at 24 weeks post transplant. The PGI-C assesses a patient's perception of improvement or worsening over time. The minimum score (best outcome) is 1 ("Very Much Improved") and the maximum score (worst outcome) is 7 ("Very Much Worse"). Higher scores indicate a worse health outcome (greater worsening). - Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (Safety of the 10 GE Xenokidney) — Baseline until last visit, assessed at least every 24 weeks after transplantation while the participant is alive and the xenokidney is functional, up to 50 years, or for 1 year after nephrectomy if required
