$ACTC's 75-year-old Kansas Rancher RPE treated Patient

http://thepenngazette.com/the-lightning-rod/

The 75-year-old man, a horse rancher from Kansas, could barely see. Macular degeneration had faded his sight in one eye to 20/400 by the time he enrolled in a clinical trial. Doctors injected retinal pigment epithelium cells, made in a lab from embryonic stem cells, into his bad eye. One month after treatment, he was no longer legally blind. His vision had improved to 20/40. He could ride his horses again.

When Lanza saw him last year, the rancher was crying. He gave Lanza a hug, then quickly said he’d never hugged another man before. But he couldn’t help himself. According to Lanza, stem cells had saved the man’s sight. “We’re not supposed to use the term miracle patient,” Lanza says, “but …”

It was clearly stated by the Son that the $ACTCD doctors diagnosed a film covering the 20/800 eye to be treated and a very slight cataract. The father was told that the film had to be removed by his own doctor as the $ACTCD doctors needed to visually track the RPEs after they were injected.

It was determined that the surgery would be classified as Ocular and that a 3 month wait was required by the Clinic Inclusion criteria and a new examination. A cataract removal would have req'd a 12 month wait, required by the Clinic Inclusion criteria, so apparently it was never done for the "slight cataract" or considered a non-issue.

After 4 months wait, the Cowboy was re-examined and his vision remained at 20/800 despite the film being removed. The $ACTCD team then decided there was no improvement from the film removal and proceeded with the RPEs injection.
