Scientists test living retinal implants to combat blinding eye disease
NCT ID NCT06891885
Summary
This early-stage study is testing the safety of a new treatment for retinitis pigmentosa, a genetic eye disease that causes vision loss. Researchers will implant lab-grown retinal tissue into the eyes of 12 adult participants to see if it's safe and if it might help preserve or improve vision. The study will follow participants for over five years to monitor long-term effects.
