Clinical Performance of the New Plasma Filter PX2 in TPE Treatments
Germany46 participantsStarted 2024-07-18
Plain-language summary
The plasma filter is applied for a single use in extracorporeal blood purification therapy. The intended purpose is the separation of plasma from blood by filtration, in conditions, which are associated with increased concentration of plasma components where a rapid depletion slows down or stops a pathogenic process.
The investigation involves the collection of treatment data of the new Plasma Filter PX2 in combination with the multiFiltrate and multiFiltratePRO in therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) treatments. The multiFiltrate and multiFiltratePRO are devices for extracorporeal blood purification treatments. No further control treatments will be investigated in this one arm design. The design is considered to be appropriate to reflect daily clinical practice and to contribute to empirical evidence of performance of the new Plasma Filter PX2. No specific treatment schedule is defined by the study protocol. The TPE treatment is performed with the plasma filter PX2 (investigational device) according to clinical practice established in each of the participating centers and are prescribed at the discretion of the treating physician. The participation in the study will have no influence on the treatment plan. The documentation of the treatment includes the therapy up to the tenth (10th) treatment.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
