A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11867686B2) outlines a method for obtaining and optimizing a chemotherapeutic agent filtration media pair for the treatment of cancer in mammals. The method involves screening chemotherapeutic agents with cancer cell lines to determine their effectiveness, identifying an agent suitable for high-dose, short-term exposure, and developing a filtration media comprising activated carbon to efficiently remove the agent from the blood. By varying parameters of the activated carbon, such as density, pore volume, and surface area, the filtration media is optimized to achieve a filtration efficiency of at least 80%.
Furthermore, the patent details a process for further optimizing the filtration media by testing its efficiency in adsorbing the chemotherapeutic agent from blood. By infusing the agent in an extracorporeal circuit and measuring its concentration before and after filtration, the filtration efficiency is calculated. The method aims to achieve a filter efficiency of at least 90% by varying the parameters of the filtration media containing activated carbon. The patent specifies that the isolated organ treatment mentioned in the claims is percutaneous hepatic perfusion and that the method is intended for use in human patients, highlighting its potential application in clinical settings for cancer treatment.
