Brief Summary:
This will be an open-label, non-randomized multi-center study of adipose stem cell (ASC) implantation. ASCs will be derived from the patient's adipose or fat. Liposuction using local anesthesia and syringe collection will be performed to collect the adipose tissue specimen for subsequent processing to isolate the stem cells. The cells will be delivered via needle injection into the eye.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. frequency and nature of adverse events [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
  2. Visual Field analysis (10-2) [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Visual field testing can be performed clinically by keeping the subject's gaze fixed while presenting objects at various places within their visual field.

  3. Visual Acuity Measurements [ Time Frame: 6 months ]
    Visual acuity is a measure of the spatial resolution of the visual processing system. VA is tested by requiring the person whose vision is being tested to identify so-called optotypes - stylized letters, Landolt rings or other patterns - on a chart from a set viewing distance.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Intraocular pressure [ Time Frame: 6 months ]

  • Vitrectomized eyes
  • Exposure to any investigational drug or procedure within 1 month prior to study entry or enrolled in a concurrent study that may confound results of this study.
  • Active infectious disease. . If patients have tested positive for HIV, HTLV, HBV, HCV, CMV (IgM > IgG) and/or syphilis, an expert will be consulted as to patient eligibility based on the patient's infectious status
  • Any illness which might affect a patient's survival over the follow-up period
