Study Summary

This is a safety and tolerability trial to evaluate the effect of subretinal injection of human embryonic stem cell derived retinal pigment epithelium cells in patients with dry Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and to perform exploratory evaluation of potential efficacy endpoints to be used in future studies retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cellular therapy.

Primary Outcome

The transplantation of hESC-derived RPE cells MA09-hRPE will be considered safe and tolerated in the absence of: * Any grade 2 (NCI grading system) or greater adverse event related to the cell product * Any evidence that the cells are contaminated with an infectious agent * Any evidence that the cells show tumorigenic potential

Interventions
