The Aethlon Hemopurifier

Aethlon Hemopurifier device

The Aethlon Hemopurifier® is a first-in-class technology designed for the rapid depletion of cancer-promoting exosomes and circulating viruses. The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has designated the Hemopurifier® as a “Breakthrough Device” for the treatment of individuals with advanced or metastatic cancer who are either unresponsive to or intolerant of standard of care therapy, and with cancer types in which exosomes have been shown to participate in the development or severity of the disease; and life-threatening viruses that are not addressed with approved therapies.

The Hemopurifier®’s Unique Mechanism of Action Captures Virus and Exosomes from a Patient’s Blood via an Extracorporeal Circuit

Captures enveloped viral pathogens and exosomes in circulating blood. Hollow-fiber plasma separator filled with proprietary “affinity resin” [Figures B, C]. Size restriction: < 200nm diameter to access “affinity resin” [Figure C]. Affinity resin captures mannosylated nano particles (e.g., enveloped virus, exosomes) [Figure D]. Compatible with existing dialysis or CRRT infrastructure [Figure A].
