A Safety Surveillance Study of Events of Special Interest Occurring in Subjects With Macular Degenerative Disease Treated With Human Embryonic Stem Cell-derived Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cell Therapy
A Safety Surveillance Study of Events of Special Interest Occurring in Subjects With Macular Degenerative Disease Treated With Human Embryonic Stem Cell-derived Retinal Pigment Epithelial Cell Therapy
The purpose of this study is to is to evaluate the occurrence of late onset (i.e., greater than 5 years after treatment) adverse events of special interest (AESI) in participants who have received sub-retinal transplant of human embryonic stem cell derived - retinal pigment epithelial (hESC-RPE) cells in an AIRM-sponsored clinical trial. The events of special interest are adverse events (AEs) that are presumed to have a potential causal relationship to the hESC-RPE cells.
Participants will be contacted by the Patient Outreach Center (POC) on an annual basis to complete a questionnaire about the occurrence of AESI, as defined in the Outcome Measure section.
The questionnaire will be completed directly by the participant (via a secure web based platform) or will be administered via telephone by a POC staff member. In the event of the occurrence of a AESI, study participant will be encouraged to contact the POC as soon as possible, rather than wait for the annual questionnaire completion. Follow up data is inclusive of the 1 year in the core trial, 4 years in the long term follow up trial and 10 years in this long term safety follow up. Participation for United Kingdom participants will be life-long.
