The other side of the coin is and quoting Rabin again(sorry if this a repeat but since that is obviously permitted here and since whats good for the goose is good for the gander):
"Now that we are at the halfway point in all three of our ongoing trials, we have had the opportunity to stop and assess not only the data relating to safety, but also to the activity of the transplanted RPE cells,” said Gary Rabin, chairman and CEO. “In our first report of hESC-derived cells transplanted into patients, published in the Lancet, we reported no adverse safety signals and that both patients that had been treated by that point showed some signs of visual improvements. For both of those patients, those gains in visual acuity have persisted for nearly 18 months now. In addition, we have observed persisting engraftment of the transplanted RPE cells in our more recent SMD and dry AMD patients. This is the first time we have shown this in dry AMD patients, which we find particularly encouraging, given that dry AMD represents one of the largest unmet medical needs in the world.”
“We are optimistic about the prospects of our RPE cells ultimately impacting positively on various forms of macular degeneration,” said Robert Lanza, M.D., ACT’s chief scientific officer. “As we have added additional clinical trial sites, the pace of patient treatments has picked up. At the same time, we are extending our observations to a greater number of patients, as well as collecting data over extended periods of time after the surgery.”
