- Patients with active lactation.
- Physically fertile patients, defined as all women physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, including women whose career, lifestyle or sexual orientation excludes sexual intercourse with a man and women whose partners have been sterilized by vasectomy or other methods, UNLESS tHEY are using a reliable contraceptive method. This birth control method can be:
- Complete abstinence from sexual intercourse
- Surgical sterilization (tubal ligation)
- Surgical sterilization partner (vasectomy)
- Implanted or injectable hormonal contraceptives and oral.
- Patients with cardiac disease, renal, hepatic, systemic, immune that might influence the survival of patients during the test.
- Positive serology for hepatitis B, hepatitis C or HIV.
- Clinical criteria or anesthetics that contraindicate the sedation or the extraction of BM (Altered coagulation system or anticoagulated patient with inability to withdraw anticoagulation, hemodynamic instability, altered skin in the puncture site, etc.)

Group Intervention Description Subconjunctival injection of saline Subconjunctival injection of saline Patients included in the trial will receive a subconjunctival injection of 0.1 ml of saline (SF) (placebo) in the fellow eye (group B or control group). In this way the patient will receive an injection in the control eye but avoid the risks of intraocular injection. Intravitreal injection of Autologous bone marrow Stem Cell Intravitreal injection of Autologous bone marrow Stem Cell Patients included in the trial will receive a pars plana intravitreal injection of autologous mononuclear cells (MNC) of bone marrow (BM) in one eye (experimental group A or group). The eye in which autologous BM MNCs were injected will be determined randomly. The average dose will be 30 million of cells (5-60 million) diluted in 0.1 ml. of saline.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Rate of serious and non-serious adverse events related with the use of bone marrow mononuclear cells in patients with retinitis pigmentosa 12 months from baseline
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Visual acuity (VA): Test ETDRS (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study). 12 months from baseline Study eye fundus: Made by Retinography and Angiography fluorescein. 12 months from baseline Visual evoked potentials with Pattern Reversal (VEP) (altered / no altered). 12 months from baseline Quality of Life: Questionnaire VFQ-25 (Visual Function Questionnaire-25). 12 months from baseline Color Vision: Ishihara Color Test. 12 months from baseline Electrical retinal function: electroretinogram (ERG) (altered / unaltered). 12 months from baseline Contrast sensitivity: CSV-1000E. 12 months from baseline Width of retinal macula layer and nerve fiber: Measured with Optical Coherence Tomography Spectral domain (OCT)(Topcon 3D OCT-2000 Spectral Domain OCT). 12 months from baseline Visual field (VF) and macular sensitivity (The Humphrey perimeter). 12 months from baseline Intraocular pressure (IOP): measured in mm Hg with applanation tonometer Haag Streit AT 900. 12 months from baseline Examination of the anterior and posterior pole: Made with biomicroscopy (BMC). 12 months from baseline
