Summary
This trial tests a new cell therapy where special cells are injected into the eye to help people with retinitis pigmentosa, a disease that causes vision loss. The goal is to see if these cells can repair or replace damaged parts of the eye.

Study Objectives
Study objectives can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.Primary study objectives
Safety over the six months after treatment as assessed by the incidence of treatment emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and changes from baseline in other safety parameters.
Secondary study objectives
Safety (Anatomical endpoint relating to retinal function in implant location - Color Fundus Photography)
Safety (Anatomical endpoint relating to retinal function in implant location - Fundus autofluorescence)
Safety (Anatomical endpoint relating to retinal function in implant location - Spectral domain-OCT)

Eligibility Criteria:
This trial includes the following eligibility criteria:- You are physically healthy enough to have a surgery called vitrectomy and receive an injection under your retina.You have an eye condition or problem that would make it difficult to accurately evaluate your eye during the study.You have had a surgery called vitrectomy in the eye being studied.This person has negative serology for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), meaning that they have not been infected with any of these viruses.You must be an adult male or female over 18 years of age.The subject has the ability to consent to the study by providing a written signature on the consent form.People who have RP have a clinical diagnosis based on one or more of the following: clinical features, medical imaging, electrophysiological measures and genetic testing, if availableStudy subjects must have a corrected ETDRS (Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study) visual acuity of 35 letters or less in the study eye for cohorts 1-5, a corrected ETDRS visual acuity of 63 letters (approximately 20/63) to 36letters (approximately 20/200) in the study eye for cohorts 6-8, and a corrected ETDRS visual acuity of 8 letters (approximately 20/800) to 68 letters (approximately 20/50) for cohorts 9 and on.You must be medically able to undergo a surgical procedure to remove the vitreous gel from your eye and an injection into the space below your retina.The patient's serum chemistry and hematology are normalThere is no history of cancer in other parts of the body, except for some cases of non-melanoma skin cancerYou have a history of vision problems in the eye being studied.You currently have an eye infection or inflammation, or have had a previous history of eye inflammation that could make surgery risky for you.The test should be able to be completed without difficulty, and the patient's fixation and consistency between readings should be consistent enough to allow for the accurate detection of changes in retinal sensitivity.
