Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This project intends to transplant human embryonic stem cells derived retinal pigment epitheliums into subretinal space of patients to treat dry age-related macular degeneration(dry-AMD).And we will assess the safety and efficacy of RPE transplants to treat dry AMD.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This project intends to transplant human embryonic stem cells derived retinal pigment epitheliums into subretinal space of patients to treat dry age-related macular degeneration(dry-AMD). Through the statistical analysis EDTRS, BCVA, OCT, ERG, Fluorescein angiography, Ophthalmic AB ultrasound changes between before and after the treatment to assess the safety and efficacy of RPE transplants to treat dry AMD.
