Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: low dose group
300,000 HuRPE cells

Biological: Human primary Retinal Pigment Epithelial (HuRPE) cells
HuRPE will be transplanted by a board-certified vitreoretinal surgeon, which will be administered into the subretinal space of experimental eye through a standard surgical approach. |
Experimental: middle dose group
500,000 HuRPE cells
|
Biological: Human primary Retinal Pigment Epithelial (HuRPE) cells
HuRPE will be transplanted by a board-certified vitreoretinal surgeon, which will be administered into the subretinal space of experimental eye through a standard surgical approach. |
Experimental: high dose group
1,000,000 HuRPE cells
|
Biological: Human primary Retinal Pigment Epithelial (HuRPE) cells
HuRPE will be transplanted by a board-certified vitreoretinal surgeon, which will be administered into the subretinal space of experimental eye through a standard surgical approach. |
