Role of UC-MSC and CM to Inhibit Vision Loss in Retinitis Pigmentosa Phase I/II

Phase 2
Recruiting
Conditions
Retinitis Pigmentosa
Interventions
Biological: 1.5 x 10^6 UC-MSC + CM
Biological: 5 x 10^6 UC-MSC + CM
Registration Number
NCT05909488
Lead Sponsor
PT. Prodia Stem Cell Indonesia
Brief 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.

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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Funduscopy6 months after injection

an examination to see and assess the abnormalities and conditions in the ocular fundus using an ophthalmoscope. This examination is carried out by an ophthalmologist.

Incident of Adverse Events1 week after injection

assessment of infection, inflammation, eye pressure and patients complaints

Frequency of Adverse Events1 week after injection

assessment of infection, inflammation, eye pressure and patients complaints

Visual Field Test6 months after injection

a test to assess the breadth of views of the lateral, medial, superior and inferior aspects using Humphrey's perimetry.

Visual Acuity Test6 months after injection

a test to see the sharpness of vision using Snellen Chart which is read at a distance of 6 meters. Normal eye test results are stated in 6/6.

Electrorectinography6 months after injection

an examination to provide a picture of objectivity, a quantitative measure of retinal function to monitor the function of stem cells and ganglion cells in the eye. This examination is carried out by a trained ophthalmologist.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)6 months after injection

is a diagnostic test that give the information about posterior segment structure, which is retina and optic nerve papillae so that it can be used to assess macular abnormalities.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Eye bump6 months after injection

Evaluation on appearance of eye bump

Pain evaluation6 months after injection

Evaluation on level of pain felt by patients

Patients Quality of Life6 months after injection

Patient's quality of life using National Eye Institute-Visual Functional Questioner 25
