Study Summary

The proposed Conventional Cohort Expansion Study involves the use of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) are derived from the bone marrow. We previously studied the safety of subconjunctival injection of allogeneic bone marrow-derived MSCs in patients with nonhealing epitheliopathy (IRB Protocol 2020-0334). In the present study, we want to study the efficacy of this treatment on chronic epitheliopathies.

Primary Outcome

The proportion of patients with improved epithelial barrier and/or integrity from baseline to DAY 28 as determined by the investigator on slit lamp examination: * Improved epithelial barrier, defined as a 50 % improvement in corneal fluorescein staining score * Improved epithelial integrity, defined as a healed epithelial defect
