Study Description
Brief Summary:
The mismatch between organ supply and demand results in the deaths of thousands of Americans each year. Our research group aims to solve this unmitigated health care crisis by translating advances in xenotransplantation to humans and expanding organ supply in a sustainable fashion using genetically modified pigs as a source of organs. We propose here a phase I clinical trial of porcine kidney xenotransplantation into 20 people with end-stage kidney disease. Source donor animals are pigs with 10 gene edits (10-GE) which attenuate immunologic harm to the kidney xenograft. 10-GE pigs are housed in a designated pathogen-free facility within 30 minutes of the transplantation center. Xenotransplantation procedures follow conventional practices currently employed in allotransplantation and comply with multiple regulatory standards to ensure ethical treatment of research subjects and source animals. Recruitment and xenotransplantation will occur over 5 years with study follow-up extending 1 year after xenotransplantation. Primary outcome variables surround patient safety, such as patient survival and the rate of zoonotic disease transmission. Secondary outcome variables include commonly used metrics of graft survival and function.

Abstract
Clinical trials of xenotransplantation (XTx) may begin early in the next decade, with kidneys from genetically modified pigs transplanted into adult humans. If successful, transplanting pig hearts into children with advanced heart failure may be the next step. Typically, clinical trials have a specified end date, and participants are aware of the amount of time they will be in the study. This is not so with XTx. The current ethical consensus is that XTx recipients must consent to lifelong monitoring. While this presents challenges to the right to withdraw in the adult population, additional and unanswered questions also linger in the paediatric population. In paediatric XTx, parents or guardians consent not only to the initial treatment of the child but also to lifelong monitoring, thus making a decision whose consequences will remain present as the child develops the capacity for assent, and finally the capacity for informed consent or refusal. This article presents and evaluates unanswered paediatric ethical questions in regard to the right to withdraw from XTx follow-up in the paediatric population.
