What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.

Summary

This study tests whether stem cells from umbilical cord tissue can safely slow vision loss in people with retinitis pigmentosa, an inherited eye disease. Thirty participants will receive one of two doses injected around the eye and be monitored for six months. The main goals are to check safety and measure changes in vision and eye structure.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
umbilical cord stem cells
What this could lead to
If it works, this could slow vision loss and help preserve sight in people with retinitis pigmentosa.
What could go wrong
This is an early combined Phase 2/3 trial with only 30 people. It primarily checks safety, and it's unknown if the stem cells will actually improve vision. There are risks like infection or eye inflammation.
