This is an open-label and prospective clinical trial, in which a maximum of 5 eyes of 5 patients will receive a CLP-PEG-MPC synthetic cornea during deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) surgery and will be followed up over 24 months.
This is a prospective open-label clinical trial of patients who will receive a CLP-PEG-MPC synthetic cornea during deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) corneal transplantation surgery and be followed over 24 months. The primary objective is to demonstrate the safety and tolerability of CLP-PEG-MPC biosynthetic corneal implants. The secondary objective is to examine the preliminary efficacy of these implants to stimulate corneal tissue regeneration, provide optical clarity and improvement of vision. Randomization is not appropriate in a first-in-human pilot study. Blinding is not possible as surgeons can easily tell a cell-free implant apart from a donor allograft.

Once qualified, subjects will be enrolled to receive a CLP-PEG-MPC implant by DALK. DALK surgery requires the precise dissection of the central 8 mm of the corneal stroma from the underlying posterior corneal layers (Dua layer, Descemet membrane and endothelium, approximately 30 microns thick). The dissection performed during DALK may perforate the posterior corneal layers, requiring conversion to full-thickness penetrating keratoplasty (PKP). Subjects who require conversion to PKP will receive a full-thickness human donor cornea as a safety measure and will be followed per protocol as a comparison group.
