About this study

This study investigates whether using Double Filtration Plasmapheresis (DFPP) could improve the overall health of adults through removing inflammatory cytokines, lipids and toxic metal ions from peripheral blood. It's also postulated that DFPP could boost immune cells through removing certain inflammatory cytokines and blood lipids.

Read the detailed description

In this study, 3 groups of subjects will be recruited based on the indications of using DFPP. Estimated 100 sub-healthy subjects will be enrolled in the Group A (inflammatory cytokine group), the inflammatory cytokine panel will be tested at baseline, immediately and 1, 3, 6 months after using DFPP. Similarly estimated 100 subjects with elevated blood lipid or cholesterol will be enrolled in Group B (lipids group), the lipid panel will be tested at the same timeline as Group A. Estimated 50 subjects who are likely to have toxic metal ions accumulated (eg. using make-up for long term, working exposure) will be enrolled in Group C (toxic metal ions group), the specific metal ions will be tested before and after using DFPP. Tests related to immune cells will also be conducted in Group A and B at baseline, immediately and 1, 3, 6 months after using DFPP.

    Measured: Baseline, day0, 1, 3, 6 month after DFPP

  3. Toxic metal ions

    Lead, mercury etc based on the specific exposure

    Measured: Baseline, day0

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Immune cells

    TBNK, ROS, PD1/lag3/KLRG1/CD57 etc (subjected to change)

    Measured: Baseline, day0, 1, 3, 6 month after DFPP

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing DFPP in people with Sub-healthy and Hyperlipidemia, run by Shanghai Cell Therapy Group Co.,Ltd at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Yongqiang Ren (13621247084, renyq@shcell.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Inflammatory cytokine panel (time frame: Baseline, day0, 1, 3, 6 month after DFPP). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Jan 2024.
