RPESC-RPE-4W Therapy for dry Age-related Macular Degeneration

Therapeutic Candidate or Device Retina pigment epithelial stem cell (RPESC)-derived RPE progeny at 4 weeks of differentiation (RPESC-RPE-4W) Indication Dry age-related macular degeneration (dry AMD). Therapeutic Mechanism Dry AMD involves loss of the RPE cells that support the overlying retina and vision. We transplant laboratory grown RPESC-RPE-4W cell to replace the RPE cells lost in […]

A Phase 2b, Randomized, Assessor-Masked Clinical Trial to Assess the Safety and Efficacy of the CPCB-RPE1 Implant in Subjects with Geographic Atrophy

Therapeutic Candidate or Device A patch comprised of a layer of stem cell-derived retinal pigmented epithelial (RPE) cells on a supporting matrix that is implanted under the retina Indication Geographic atrophy, the late-stage form of age-related macular degeneration Therapeutic Mechanism The healthy RPE cells on the implant replace dying RPE cells in the eye that […]

Clinical Translation of Autologous Regenerative Pluripotent Stem Cell Therapy for Blindness

Therapeutic Candidate or Device The therapeutic candidate is a patient specific (autologous) induced pluripotent stem cell derived retinal pigment epithelium (AiPSC-RPE) product. Indication AiPSC-RPE cell product will be indicated for the treatment of maculopathies related to RPE atrophy. Therapeutic Mechanism The proposed therapy is an autlogous cell product and intended to be used as a […]
