Brief summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of TX200-TR101 and its effects on the donated kidney in living donor kidney transplant recipients. TX200-TR101 is a product made from a kidney transplant recipient's own immune cells, which are genetically modified and designed to help the transplant recipient's body accept their donated kidney and prevent their immune system from rejecting it.

Detailed description: This is a multicentre, first-in-human, open-label, single ascending dose, dose-ranging study of autologous, chimeric antigen receptor T regulatory cells (CAR-Treg) in HLA-A2 mismatched living donor kidney transplant recipients, with a control cohort of mismatched kidney transplant recipients of similar immunological risk.The aim is for the CAR-Tregs to recognise the HLA-A2 molecule present on the donated kidney and subsequently induce and maintain immunological tolerance to the organ.

The study requires three different types of participants - transplant recipients who will receive the study treatment TX200-TR101; control participants, who are transplant recipients who will not receive the study treatment; and transplant donors, who will donate their kidney to the transplant recipients.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Written informed consent.
* Male or female aged 18 - 70 years.
* Diagnosis of End Stage Renal Disease and waiting for a new kidney from an identified live donor.
* Subjects who will be single organ recipients (kidney).
* Able and willing to use contraception.

Exclusion Criteria:

* HLA identical to the donor.
* Subjects with prior organ transplant.
* Known hypersensitivity to study medication ingredients, protocol defined immunosuppressive medications, or a significant allergic reaction to any drug.
* Positive serology for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or syphilis, active or occult hepatitis B virus (HBV), active hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, or other clinically active local or systemic infection.
* Subjects who are Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) seronegative.
* Positive flow cytometric crossmatch using donor lymphocytes and recipient serum.
* Subjects with panel-reactive antibody (PRA) \>20% within 6 months prior to enrolment.
* Subjects with current or recent donor-specific antibodies.
* Use of any experimental medicinal product within 3 months.
* Current use of systemic immunosuppressive agents
* Significant unstable or poorly controlled acute or chronic diseases (except ESRD), limited life expectancy, clinically relevant central nervous system pathology, history of drug/alcohol abuse or psychiatric disorder or other condition that is not compatible with adequate study follow-up, history of malignancy in the past 5 years and any other reason that, in the opinion of the Site Investigator or Medical Monitor, would render the subject unsuitable for participation in the study.
* Subjects with abnormal laboratory values in the following parameters:
* Haemoglobin
* Platelets
* White blood cells
* Aspartate transaminase (AST) and or alanine transaminase (ALT)
* Total bilirubin
