Testing stem cell treatment for NAION safety
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This Phase 1 study tests whether lab-made stem cells taken from donated umbilical cord are safe for people with NAION. It mainly looks for side effects and safety rather than proving the treatment works.
