Safety and Efficacy of Autologous Transplantation of iPSC-RPE in the Treatment of Macular Degeneration

General Information

Summary This project intends to perform autologous transplantation of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived retinal pigment epithelium (iPSC-RPE). The clinical-grade RPE will be transplanted into subretinal space to treat refractory age-related macular degeneration. The efficacy and safety of RPE transplants to treat macular degeneration will be monitored and analyzed with results from EDTRS, BCVA, OCT, ERG, microperimetry, and fluorescein angiography, before and after the treatment.
Description The investigators will generate iPSC lines from recruited participants and differentiate the iPSC into RPE. Autologous iPSC-derived RPE will be transplanted into participants eyes by subretinal injections. The safety and efficacy will be closely monitored and analyzed.
