San Diego-based Aethlon Medical announced Tuesday the first use its Hemopurifier therapy on a patient infected with Ebola virus. The blood-filtration treatment was administered to a Ugandan doctor at the Frankfurt University Hospital in Germany. The patient, who is also a World Health Organization worker, contracted the virus in Sierra Leone. Aethlon’s Hemopurifier is a bio-filtration device that can rapidly eliminate viruses and proteins from the circulatory system of infected individuals. The company is the second from San Diego to offer a treatment for Ebola amid the rapidly spreading epidemic. In August, Mapp Biopharmaceutical‘s drug ZMapp was used to treat the first American Ebola patients. “We thank the physicians in Frankfurt for allowing us the opportunity to treat this advanced-stage patient,” stated Jim Joyce, Aethlon’s founder and CEO. “Details related to the patient’s response to therapy will be disclosed once hospital officials deem it appropriate to report an update on the condition of this individual.” In the care of ebola-infected individuals, the Hemopurifier is used to rapidly eliminate circulating ebola viruses and associated proteins that overwhelm the patient’s immune system. The device can be used in dialysis machines at hospitals and clinics. Aethlon said it is preparing to begin U.S. clinical studies of Hemopurifier therapy for use against pandemic threats, including ebola and chronic viral pathogens such as HIV and Hepatitis C. timesofsandiego/tech/2014/10/14/san-diego-firms-blood-filter-tried-ugandan-ebola-patient/
