Eligibility:

All Genders

18-80 years

Phase:

NA

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the behavior of intravitreal injection of of autologous bone marrow stem cells in patients with age related macular degeneration.

Detailed Description

A prospective phase I/II, nonrandomized open-label study of agen related macular degeneration and Stargartd patients with best-corrected ETDRS visual acuity (BCVA) worse than 20/200. Standardized opht...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Male or female AMD and Stargartd patients 18 to 80 years old, inclusive.
  • In either eye, diagnosis of geographic atrophy or choroidal neovascularization due to AMD
  • ETDRS best corrected visual acuity of 60 letters or worse in the study eye.

Exclusion

  • Retinal disease other than AMD in study eye which, in the investigator's opinion, may pose a safety risk or interfere with the study.
  • Choroidal neovascularization due to a cause other than AMD.
  • In the study eye, media opacity that interferes with fundus imaging or is likely to require surgery during the study period.
  • Any of the following treatments to the study eye within 14 days prior to dosing: ranibizumab (Lucentis), bevacizumab (Avastin), pegaptanib (Macugen), or other VEGF inhibitor; OR likely requirement for one of the above treatments within 14 days of LFG316 administration.
  • Any of the following within 30 days prior to dosing: photodynamic therapy treatment in the study eye; extrafoveal or juxtafoveal thermal laser photocoagulation in the study eye; systemic or topical (ophthalmic) steroid use in the study eye; bacterial keratitis in the study eye; OR intraocular surgery (including cataract surgery) in the fellow eye.
  • Any of the following within 90 days prior to dosing: intraocular surgery (including cataract surgery) in the study eye; OR intravitreal or periocular corticosteroid injection in the study eye.
  • Participation in another interventional clinical study, or use of any experimental treatment for AMD or any other investigational new drug within 12 weeks prior to the start of study treatment. Clinical trials solely involving over-the-counter vitamins, supplements, or diets will not exclude the patients from study participation.
  • Any medical condition likely to interfere with the patient's participation in the study, or likely to cause serious adverse events during the study.
