Pilot study of a new online extracorporeal photopheresis system in patients with steroid refractory or dependent chronic graft vs host disease

Abstract: Background A new protocol has been developed on the Amicus Separator that enables the device to perform online extracorporeal photopheresis (ECP) procedures when used in conjunction with the Phelix photoactivation device and associated disposable kit. The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and performance of the Amicus ECP System in adult subjects with steroid‐refractory or dependent chronic graft vs host disease (cGVHD). Study Design and Methods Eight s… Show more

“…Anticoagulation through heparins or citrate is essential for maintaining the extracorporeal blood flow on the apheresis circuit. 17,18 Heparin, which was used for ECP method in the present study, can cause prolongation of PT and the PTT by acting on the common pathway factors. By contrast, the INR as another frequently used coagulation parameter is not affected by heparin directly, but can be falsely elevated by heparin due to thromboplastin test reagents.…”

“…Legend: Avg MNC count=(subject pre-procedure MNC + Subject post-procedure MNC)/2 and AC=anticoagulant volume. 7 Flow cytometry assessment: Three peripheral blood immunoprofiles were made by flow cytometry: at admission, at 21 and 28 days' post-transplantation (Figure 1). The pre-transplantation Neutrophil/ Lymphocytes Ratio was 1.4, and at days 21 and 28 were 3.3 and 1.5 respectively.…”
