Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This phase 3 multicenter, randomized, controlled clinical trial evaluated investigational cellular product (MDR-101) to produce immune tolerance vs standard of care, in kidney transplant recipients. Adult recipients of kidneys from 2-haplotype human leukocyte antigen-matched living siblings were randomized 2:1 to treatment (n = 20) or control (n = 10). The MDR-101 product was from the same kidney donor. Treatment recipients received a nonmyeloablative conditioning protocol with rabbit-antithymocyte globulin and low-dose total lymphoid irradiation (10 fractions). MDR-101 was infused (day 11). Steroids were withdrawn by day 10 and mycophenolate by day 39. Tacrolimus was continued until day 180 and tapered to withdrawal 1-year posttransplant if donor hematopoietic mixed chimerism was ≥5%. Controls received immunosuppression (IS) per institutional standard of care. Twenty recipients received the MDR-101 infusion, and none developed graft versus host disease. Nineteen (95%) successfully discontinued all IS approximately 1 year after kidney transplant. Fifteen (75%) reached the primary study endpoint of IS-free for >2 years. Four resumed IS: 1 with recurrent immunoglobulin A nephropathy; 1 with recurrent immunoglobulin A nephropathy and rejection; 1 with rejection; and 1 with borderline biopsy changes. Kidney transplant recipients receiving MDR-101 achieved donor mixed chimerism and functional immune tolerance for greater than 2 years with no death, graft loss, DSA, or graft versus host disease and demonstrated improved quality of life compared to standard treatment.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
