Study summary

The study will perform UC-MSCs and CM transplantation. There are two groups with different dosages. The first group will be transplanted with 1.5 million cells, meanwhile, the second group is 5 million cells. Each group consists of 30 subjects. All groups will be transplanted via the peribulbar route. All groups will be observed until six months.

Read the detailed description

The eyes we will give the transplant should be given an aseptic and antiseptic technique to prevent contamination from the inside and outside. Sterile cover attached to other parts of the face except for the eyes. 1.8 ml Umbilical Cord-derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell (UC-MSC) preparations are suspended in Conditioned Medium (CM) until it reaches a 2 ml volume of cell suspension. Two dosages will be prepared, 1.5 million and 5 million of UC-MSC. Stem cell suspension will be injected by peribulbar, and patients will be given a quinolone antibiotic if the injection is done. On day 1st and day 7th after therapy, patients will be observed the presence of infection, inflammation, and increased eye pressure. On day 7th, day 30th, and day 90th after therapy, patients will do a visual field test, visual acuity test, electroretinography, funduscopy, and Optical Coherence Tomography examination. The observations will be written in the table and analyzed by a statistic.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Do not come to control according to the schedule determined by the researcher (loss to follow up)
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 25, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
