KHI RRT Roadmap Timeline
White House Organ SummitJune, 2016
Draft Roadmap completed 3rd Q 2018
Kidney Health Initiative:Goals for RRT Roadmap
Convene a diverse group
of stakeholders, patients and
care partners, academics,
industry and regulators
Describe scientific,
technical, and regulatory
challenges for mechanical, cellular and
hybrid technologies
Create a set of design criteria
for future alternatives to
RRT
Identify ways to incorporate
patient preferences
and feedback on design features
Create a roadmap with
milestones and opportunities for creating a
bio-artificial or bio-engineered alternative to
dialysis

The Roadmap as a Catalyst for Change• Solutions to existing systems are complex
‒ Breakdown the complicated questions into smaller steps – Establish design criteria and milestones– Determine whether the goal is incremental change or “disruptive” innovation
• Encourage Innovation in kidney disease‒ Coordinate regulatory and payment pathways to support commercial
viability and patient access‒ Impact policy makers to increase kidney research funding
o Increase awareness of the limited funding compared to other medical specialtieso Kidney research is underfunded compared to the cost of care
• A multidisciplinary approach is needed– Connect with outside experts in different fields for novel perspectives– Integrate the best science with a patient-centered approach– Bring hope to patients with kidney disease
• (Re)Building a Kidney Consortium (RBK): A Basic Science Research Initiative Consortium
led by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)o Optimize approaches for the isolation, expansion, and differentiation of appropriate kidney cell
types and their integration into complex structures that replicate human kidney function
• Other Cellular Technologies to Repair or Replace a Damaged Kidney o Understand the mechanism of proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) cells o Replicating renal functiono How to deliver or administer the cells
As part of a scaffoldAs biologic therapy- oral or IV
State of Science for alternative to Dialysis as renal replacement therapy
• Mechanical Approaches o Miniaturization
Wearable artificial kidney (WAK)
Automated Wearable Artificial Kidney (AWAK)
o Implantable devices Implantable renal assist device (iRAD)

Technology Roadmap for Innovative Approaches to Renal Replacement Therapy
8/21/2018
Goals of the KHI RRT technology Roadmap:• Spur innovation in the RRT field• Attract industry/academic
investment in developing RRT solutions
• Encourage internationally oriented multi-disciplinary approach
• Accelerate availability and adoption of commercially viable solutions
• Ensure patient/care partner preferences are incorporated
• Optimize processes regarding reimbursement
‹#›
Key Strengths of the Roadmap
8/21/2018
Patient-Centered focus, with clearly delineated, patient developed vision of improved patient quality of life
Opportunities for Multidisciplinary Collaboration to attract and leverage technology development from diverse sources
Multiple solutions, various time horizons: near-term incremental improvements; longer-term disruptive breakthroughs
Common Design Requirements ensure that all solutions meet the same minimum technical expectations
‹#›
Future State: Improved QoL
• Minimized impact of therapy on family and social life• Improved ability to work and travel• Increased mobility and physical activity• Increased treatment choices• Liberalized diet and fluid regulation• Reduced medication burden• Reduced disease and treatment complications• Reduced financial impact

Enabling Change through Focused Research and Design
8/21/2018
• Technology solution-agnostic• Three focus areas Kidney Function: unique solutions for replicating each kidney
function (blood filtration, electrolyte homeostasis, fluid regulation, toxin removal/secretion, fluid transport/drainage)
System enablers: connect/integrate elements of RRT (RRT access, biomaterials, bio and immuno modulation, monitoring)
Supporting Activities: to ensure accelerated access to solutions (regulatory alignment, innovative incentives and payment pathways)
• Three time frames Near-term (2019 – 2022) Mid-term (2023 – 2025) Long-term (2026+)

Despite some Early Successes, Overall Challenges Remain
• Knowledge gaps exist– Cellular functional abnormalities that can be replaced by producing a filtration device
connected to a device with differentiated epithelial cells that will process filtrate – What is minimal or optimal RRT to minimize uremic symptoms and consequences– Animal uremic models which model human ESRD to test efficacy of devices – What components of uremia “have to be replaced” and which ones can be treated with
drugs or other ways? What can be replaced conventionally (i.e., EPO, Vitamin D)
• Understanding diverse patient needs– How to include unrepresented patients’ preferences– Patients’ risk tolerance varies
• Those that want change now (even if incremental; e.g. 1X/week vs. 3X/week) • Those that want a big game changer (even if they have to wait)
• Financial/reimbursement– Future of the bundled payment system; how new technologies will get reimbursed– ESRD Seamless Care Organizations (ESCOs)
• Regulatory clarity– Need for large animal studies before human trials

How the Roadmap relates to KidneyX
• Supports coordination across HHS Agencies (FDA, CMS and NIH) to clarify the path toward commercialization and patient access to innovative products
• Provide merit based, non-dilutive funding via a series of prize competitions
• Kidney Innovation Accelerator (KidneyX) is a public-private partnership between HHS and ASN intended to accelerate breakthroughs and innovations in kidney care
• The RRT Roadmap will guide the priority funding choices of KidneyX 1.0
