Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
safety and tolerance of transplantation18 months

The transplantation of hESC-derived RPE cells MA09-hRPE will be considered safe and tolerated in the absence of:

1. Any grade 2 (NCI grading system) or greater adverse event related to the cell product

2. Any evidence that the cells are contaminated with an infectious agent

3. Any evidence that the cells show tumorigenic potential

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evidence of successful engraftment18 months

Evidence of successful engraftmentEvidence of successful engraftment will consist of:

Structural evidence (OCT imaging, fluorescein angiography, autofluorescense photography, slit-lamp examination with fundus photography) that cells have been implanted in the correct location Electroretinographic evidence (mfERG) showing enhanced activity in the implant location
