Brief Summary

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

This trial will study the safety and efficacy of intravenous and sub-tenon delivery of cultured allogeneic adult umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy

Detailed Description

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

This patient funded trial aims to study the safety and efficacy of intravenous and sub-tenon delivery of cultured allogeneic adult umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) for the treatment of non-arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy. The total dose will be 100 million cells. Patients will be evaluated within one month pre treatment and at 1, 6, 12, 24, 36, and 48 months post treatment for safety and efficacy.

For patients with more severe disease an autologous Effector cells (activated lymphocytes) treatment will be utilized created from the patient's own cells obtained by apheresis.
