Chronic Kidney Disease Research Study

Recruiting

A Phase 1 investigational study evaluating regenerative cellular therapy for adults with stage 2-4 chronic kidney disease under structured medical supervision.

Study Overview:

This Phase 1 investigational study evaluates the safety and preliminary efficacy of AdiaVita - a regenerative therapy made from umbilical cord blood-derived stem cells and exosomes - combined with glutathione, in adults diagnosed with stage 2-4 chronic kidney disease (CKD). This 12-month, randomized, single-blind, controlled crossover study aims to determine whether the treatment improves kidney function as measured by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and serum creatinine levels.

Conducted under structured medical supervision, the study follows defined research protocols to evaluate safety, tolerability, and preliminary observations related to regenerative medicine interventions. All participants undergo comprehensive clinical evaluations before, during, and after the study period. The study is approximately 100 adults aged 18 to 80 may participate.

Participation Timeline

Screening & Eligibility (Weeks 0-2)

Initial evaluation, medical history review, and assessment of eligibility criteria including eGFR and creatinine blood tests.

Pre-Intervention Baseline (Weeks 3-4)

Comprehensive baseline assessments, blood work, and medical evaluations to establish starting kidney function measurements.

Treatment Phase (Months 1-3)

Monthly intravenous infusions at the clinic for 3 months (AdiaVita and/or glutathione, randomized single-blind) plus twice-daily topical glutathione spray applied at home. Blood tests and physical exams conducted at each visit.

Crossover Option (Month 3)

Certain participants in the control groups may switch to the active AdiaVita treatment after three months if they meet safety criteria. This crossover ensures eligible participants have access to the investigational therapy.

Follow-Up Assessment (Months 4-12)

Regular follow-up visits for blood tests (eGFR and creatinine), physical exams, and safety monitoring through Month 12. The total study duration per participant is 12 months.

Cost and Compensation for Participation

Study Cost (One-Time Participation Fee)

The one-time participation fee includes all investigational procedures, physician and scientific oversight, medications, and stem cell therapies associated with the clinical study. Travel to Orlando is excluded from this cost.

Financing Options

The participation cost may be financed through CareCredit. This flexible payment option allows families to manage the financial aspects of participation. Qualified applicants may be eligible for 0% interest financing for up to 2 years.

Sponsored Participants

If you have a sponsor for the study, please contact our clinical coordination team for information regarding 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization details and sponsorship verification processes.

Study Design and Visit Requirements

Study Design

This is a Phase 1, randomized, single-blind, controlled crossover trial with three treatment arms. Participants are randomly assigned to one of three groups: AdiaVita stem cells plus glutathione, glutathione with a placebo for AdiaVita, or placebos for both treatments. The study is single-blind, meaning participants will not know which treatment they receive. Approximately 100 adults aged 18 to 80 with stage 2-4 chronic kidney disease will participate.

Visit Schedule

Participants will receive monthly intravenous infusions at the clinic for the first three months and apply a topical glutathione spray twice daily at home during that period. Follow-up visits occur at regular intervals through Month 12 for blood tests, physical exams, and safety monitoring.

What to Expect at Each Visit

  • Blood tests including eGFR and serum creatinine measurements
  • Physical examinations and vital sign measurements
  • Laboratory testing and safety monitoring
  • Intravenous infusions and adverse event monitoring

Potential Benefits of Participation

While this is an investigational study, participants may potentially benefit from:

  • Access to innovative regenerative medicine therapies not yet widely available. Crossover design ensures eligible control-group participants receive stem cell treatments.
  • No out-of-country risks. Safe, regulated care in the USA. Natural, minimally manipulated umbilical cord blood-derived cells – not lab grown. Full safety oversight from an independent review board.
  • Comprehensive medical evaluations and close clinical monitoring of kidney function
  • Contribution to advancing understanding of CKD and regenerative medicine
  • Ongoing support and access to our multidisciplinary clinical team

Frequently Asked Questions About The Adia Med Winter Park CKD Study

This is a Phase 1 research study testing whether AdiaVita - a regenerative treatment made from umbilical cord blood-derived stem cells and exosomes combined with glutathione - is safe and can help improve kidney function in adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD). In CKD, the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter blood. The study compares AdiaVita plus glutathione against control treatments to see if it improves kidney function as measured by eGFR and creatinine blood tests.

Adults ages 18 to 80 years old who have a confirmed diagnosis of stage 2-4 chronic kidney disease (eGFR between 15-89 mL/min/1.73 m²). The study plans to include approximately 100 participants. A doctor will check if you qualify during screening.

The study lasts 12 months for each participant. The first 3 months involve monthly IV infusions at the clinic and twice-daily topical glutathione spray at home, followed by regular follow-up visits through Month 12 for blood tests, physical exams, and safety monitoring.

It's a randomized, single-blind study, meaning participants are randomly placed into one of three groups and do not know which treatment they receive:

Group 1: Receives AdiaVita stem cell infusions + glutathione (IV monthly for 3 months + topical spray at home).
Group 2: Receives glutathione (IV monthly for 3 months) + a placebo for AdiaVita.
Group 3: Receives placebos for both treatments.

This is a Phase 1, FDA-regulated investigational study. Safety is closely monitored by the research team and an independent review board throughout the study. All participants undergo regular blood tests, physical exams, and adverse event monitoring. Risks may include infusion-related reactions, allergic responses, and unknown long-term effects. The study team tracks and reports any serious problems.
