Revolutionizing Cancer Treatment: Plasma Exchange for Advanced Melanoma

/ by Destiny Vandeput

A new clinical trial, the ReCIPE-M1 study, is exploring an innovative way to treat advanced melanoma (a type of skin cancer) by combining therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) with existing cancer immunotherapy. The goal is to improve the effectiveness of immunotherapy, which currently works for only about one-third of patients and eventually loses effectiveness for most. […]

What’s the Difference Between Plasma Donation and Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE)?

/ by Destiny Vandeput

Plasma donation and TPE are completely different procedures with distinct goals and outcomes. Here’s a clear comparison: Plasma Donation: Plasma donation involves removing a small volume of plasma (typically 500–800 ml) from your body. No replacement fluid is given, as your body naturally replenishes this small loss over time. The primary purpose of plasma donation […]

How Plasma Exchange Could Help Turn Back the Clock on Aging

/ by Destiny Vandeput

By Dr. Dobri Kiprov Chief Medical Officer A recent study explored how a procedure called therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) could slow down the biological aging process. TPE involves removing a person’s blood plasma and replacing it with a plasma substitute, sometimes combined with immunoglobulins (IVIG). The study showed that this procedure not only helps “reset” […]

Unlocking Longevity: How Inhibiting IL-11 Could Extend Healthspan and Lifespan

/ by Destiny Vandeput

This study investigates the role of IL-11 signaling in aging and its potential as a therapeutic target to extend healthspan and lifespan in mammals. The researchers demonstrate that inhibiting IL-11 signaling improves multiple age-related health markers and extends lifespan in preclinical models. Key Findings: The findings suggest that targeting IL-11 could provide a novel strategy […]

AMBAR (Alzheimer Management by Albumin Replacement) Study

/ by admin

The AMBAR (Alzheimer Management by Albumin Replacement) study explored a unique treatment approach that involves removing and replacing a portion of a person’s blood plasma—known as plasma exchange—to see if it might help slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers tested this procedure in people with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s, aiming to filter out and replace specific […]

Plasma exchange for Guillain-Barré syndrome

/ by admin | Leave a Comment

This systematic review examines the effectiveness of plasma exchange (PE) in treating Guillain-Barré syndrome, an acute inflammatory condition affecting peripheral nerves that often leads to paralysis. Guillain-Barré syndrome is believed to be caused by autoimmune responses, including harmful antibodies, which PE can help remove from the bloodstream. The procedure involves connecting the patient to a […]

Neuroimaging analyses from a randomized, controlled study to evaluate plasma exchange with albumin replacement in mild‑to‑moderate Alzheimer’s disease: additional results from the AMBAR study

/ by admin | Leave a Comment

This study, part of the AMBAR phase 2b/3 clinical trial, investigated the effects of therapeutic plasma exchange (PE) with albumin replacement on brain structure and function in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Patients were divided into four groups: three received PE with varying doses of albumin (some with intravenous immunoglobulin, IVIG), while the fourth […]

Rejuvenation of three germ layers tissues by exchanging old blood plasma with saline-albumin

/ by admin | Leave a Comment

This phase 2b/3 trial evaluated the effects of plasma exchange (PE) with albumin replacement on patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer’s disease (AD). A total of 347 patients were randomized into three This study challenges the idea that young blood is necessary for tissue rejuvenation, showing instead that “neutral blood exchange” (NBE) — replacing half of an […]
