An interventional study of Corneal Epithelial Stem Cell Transplant in Dry Eye Syndromes, Dry Eye and Ocular Inflammation, sponsored by Sloan W. Rush, MD. Completed at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 100 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2022-04-21.

To study of a novel, therapeutic Human Cells, Tissues, and Cellular and Tissue-Based Product (HCT/P) in the treatment of severe dry eye disease that is failing conventional treatments. This pilot study will carefully observe and monitor each qualifying and willing individual for response to treatment, signs of toxicity and adverse effects from the treatment, and for ability of the treatment to improve comfort and restore vision.
Eligible patients presenting with severe dry eye disease that have failed treatment with conventional measures will be screened for inclusion into the study. The treatment will consist of administration of formulated topical eye drops containing cadaveric epithelial stem cell-derived product. These eye drops will be transplanted by topical self-administration by the patient four times daily in both eyes for a three month interval.
Exclusion Criteria:
The treatment will consist of transplantation (via self-administration) of formulated topical eye drops containing cadaveric epithelial stem cell-derived biologic material four times daily in both eyes for a three month interval.
Other: Corneal Epithelial Stem Cell Transplant
Self-administration of formulated topical eye drops containing cadaveric epithelial stem cell-derived biologic material.
