What this Trial Is About
This is an open-label, single-institution study to assess the safety and the efficacy of the Sip-Tego regimen for the induction of donor-specific immunologic unresponsiveness to a renal allograft. The investigators propose to treat 6 adult subjects in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) who do not demonstrate evidence of prior sensitization.
