Study Arms (2)

NT-501 Implant procedure

EXPERIMENTAL

The investigational product is the NT-501 encapsulated cell system which consists of cells encapsulated within a semi-permeable polymer membrane and supportive matrices. NT-501 contains NTC-201 cells that were derived from the NTC-200 cell line by genetic modification so as to secrete recombinant human ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF).

Biological: Ciliary neurotrophic factor (CNTF)Device: NT-501 ImplantProcedure: NT-501 Implant procedure

Sham procedure

SHAM COMPARATOR

Non-penetrating sham procedure to mimic implant procedure

Procedure: Sham procedure

Interventions
