Testing stem cell treatment for NAION safety
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with NAION (a sudden vision problem caused by reduced blood flow to the optic nerve).
- You understand the study and agree to sign a written consent form.
- You do not currently have an active infection.
- You do not have active cancer or serious ongoing organ problems affecting multiple organs.
- You are able to meet major safety checks (blood/health tests) and do not have a condition the study doctor feels would put you at risk.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a single injection of umbilical cord stem cells around the eye can safely help slow or improve vision loss from retinitis pigmentosa, a genetic eye disease. It also checks how long any benefits might last, using regular eye tests and a quality-of-life survey.
This trial tests whether stem cells from donated umbilical cord tissue can slow down or stop vision loss in people with retinitis pigmentosa, a condition that causes progressive blindness. You would receive these cells as injections around your eye and will be closely monitored with several vision tests.
This study looks at stem-cell treatment to help vision in adults whose retina or optic nerve damage is not expected to improve on its own. You may be a candidate if your eye exam shows documented, stable or slowly changing damage and you can safely complete follow-up eye visits.
This Phase 1 study tests whether a treatment made from donated umbilical cord “exosomes” is safe in people with Parkinson’s disease. It mainly looks at side effects and safety, and could help guide future treatments if it proves tolerable.
This early study (Phase 1) checks whether an infused stem cell product made from donated umbilical cord tissue is safe in people with osteoarthritis. It’s mainly looking for side effects and whether the treatment can be given safely.
This Phase 1 study tests whether an off-the-shelf stem cell product made from donated umbilical cord tissue is safe for people with spinal cord injury. It mainly looks at side effects and safety, and may help pave the way for future effectiveness studies.
