Extracorporeal Removal of Drugs: Hemoperfusion and Hemofiltration

293
Hemoperfusion and hemofiltration are critical techniques in medical treatments to eliminate accumulated drugs, metabolites, and electrolytes from the bloodstream. These methods are particularly vital in cases of accidental poisoning and drug overdose.Hemoperfusion involves passing blood through an adsorbent material to remove unwanted substances. The main adsorbents used in hemoperfusion include activated charcoal and Amberlite resins. Activated charcoal can adsorb both polar and nonpolar...

Extracorporeal Removal of Drugs: Peritoneal Dialysis and Hemodialysis

654
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or those experiencing drug overdose often require extracorporeal methods to eliminate accumulated drugs and metabolites. Hemoperfusion, hemofiltration, and dialysis are the primary techniques to rapidly remove harmful substances without disrupting the patient's fluid and electrolyte balance. For those with compromised renal function, dosage adjustments of concurrent medications may be necessary during extracorporeal drug removal.Dialysis is a process...

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Cellular Therapy
  • Medical Devices

Background:

  • Extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) is an immunomodulatory therapy using inline or offline systems.
  • Offline ECP offers flexibility but requires dedicated UVA irradiators, which may be limited.
  • Cryopreservation of ECP-treated cells is crucial for some clinical and research applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a practical hybrid ECP workflow adapting an inline system for offline capabilities.
  • To enable larger blood volume processing, partial reinfusion, and cryopreservation of photoactivated mononuclear cells (MNCs).
  • To expand flexibility for clinical programs and translational research without independent UVA irradiators.

Main Methods:

  • Adapted the inline Amicus Blue Photopheresis System into an inline-to-offline workflow.
  • Processed a fixed 200-mL MNC collection with 8-methoxypsoralen and UVA irradiation.
  • Reinfused 50 mL inline and aliquoted the remainder for offline cryopreservation.

Main Results:

  • The hybrid approach enables larger total blood volume processing and partial reinfusion.
  • Photoactivated MNCs can be cryopreserved offline using this method.
  • Procedural safety, product integrity, and operational simplicity were preserved.

Conclusions:

  • This hybrid ECP workflow integrates offline capabilities into an inline framework.
  • It eliminates the need for a separate UVA irradiator for cryopreservation.
  • The method enhances flexibility for clinical trials and translational research in ECP therapy.
