About this study

Official title: Intravitreal Injection of Human Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell in Patients With Dry Age-related Macular Degeneration(AMD)

The purpose of this Phase I/II study is to investigate the safety and preliminary efficacy of unilateral intravitreally transplantation of adult bone marrow stem cells in subjects with geographic atrophy secondary to age-related macular degeneration.

Read the detailed description

This study is an open-label investigation of the safety and preliminary efficacy of unilateral intravitreal injection of autologous bone marrow stem cells in subjects with Geographic Atrophy secondary to Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). Subjects will be enrolled based on specific inclusion/exclusion criteria and evaluated at regular post transplant intervals.

Human central nervous system -stem cells will be transplanted by a vitreoretinal surgeon. The transplantation will be conducted in the eye with the inferior best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) (i.e., the Study Eye). Only the Study Eye will undergo transplantation. The adult bone marrow stem cells will be administered into the vitreous cavity through a standard surgical approach.

Moxifloxacin 300 mg(once per day ) will be administered orally to all subjects for a period of five days ( 2 days pre and post operatively) .

Subjects will be monitored frequently for a total of one year after adult bone marrow stem cells cell injection .

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing autologous bone marrow derived stem cells in people with Age Related Macular Degeneration, run by Al-Azhar University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Dec 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Egypt. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Abdelhakim mohamed safwat, M.D. (+201005151919, abdelhakimsafwat@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

number of subjects with adverse events (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 24 Dec 2013.
