iPS cell eye transplant for dry macular degeneration
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This early-phase study tests whether transplanting lab-made retinal cells from your own body can slow vision loss from geographic atrophy caused by dry age-related macular degeneration. It involves eye surgery and frequent follow-up to check safety and early signs of benefit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 55 years or older
- Have dry AMD with geographic atrophy in at least one eye
- Be able to understand and sign consent for study procedures and record/sample use
- Be medically able to handle anesthesia, eye surgery, tests, and repeated visits
- If you could become pregnant (or could father a child), use reliable birth control or avoid pregnancy through the first 12 months

This early-stage study tests whether a stem-cell–derived transplant to the back of the eye is safe and tolerable in people with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). If you qualify, you may receive the transplant and have close follow-up to watch for side effects.
This trial tests a new treatment called Eyecyte-RPE™, made from special cells that support the retina. It is given as a single injection under the retina during eye surgery. The study aims to see if it can help people with advanced dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) who have large areas of damage (geographic atrophy) in the center of their vision.
This trial tests a patch of retinal cells implanted under the retina to see if it can slow or stop vision loss from advanced dry AMD (geographic atrophy). It may help people whose central vision is already affected.
This early-stage study tests a new cell-based treatment (C.001) for inherited retinal diseases that affect the back of the eye. The treatment may help slow vision loss or improve sight in people with geographic atrophy or Stargardt disease.
This trial tests if a treatment made from umbilical cord blood and platelet-rich plasma can help people with dry age-related macular degeneration. The treatment is given as an injection into the eye, and the goal is to see if it slows vision loss or improves sight.
This trial tests whether injections made from umbilical cord blood “platelet-rich plasma” can improve vision in people with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in both eyes. It targets older adults with specific vision levels and no major other eye or medical problems that could affect the results.
