Hemopurifier targets the rapid elimination of circulating viruses and tumour-secreted exosomes that promote cancer progression.
The device was used in the treatment of Ebola, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and Hepatitis C.
The Hemopurifier therapy was recently successful in treating an Ebola patient with multiple organ failure.
In September, the company received independent internal review board (IRB) approval to initiate human clinical trials of Hemopurifier therapy at DaVita Med Center Dialysis in Houston, Texas, US.

By GlobalDataThe US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) previously approved an investigational device exemption (IDE), allowing the start of Hemopurifier feasibility studies in the US.
As a result of the independent IRB approval, the company is now permitted to start the IDE approved trial.
