An interventional study of Therapeutic Plasma Exchange (TPE) with the Plasma Filter PX2 in Autoimmune Diseases, sponsored by Fresenius Medical Care Deutschland GmbH. Recruiting at 7 sites in Germany. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-06-24.

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.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
