First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This early-stage trial tests whether transplanting special stem cells into the eye is safe for people with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss. About 18 adults over 55 with dry AMD will receive the cell transplant during eye surgery. The main goal is to check for side effects like vision loss or inflammation, not yet to prove the treatment works.
