A Study Comparing Immunopheresis® Alone or In Combination With Chemotherapy Versus Chemotherapy Alone in Treatment of Advanced Breast Cancer Patients

The Immunoadsorption affinity column, the LW-02 column, uses a proprietary human recombinant protein, single chain TNF-α ligand, covalently linked to a bead resin, that both enhances the capture efficiency of sTNF-Rs while avoiding complications from column leaching. Reduced sTNF-R plasma levels may lead to objective tumor responses.

Reduced sTNF-R plasma levels may lead to objective tumor responses.~In combined treatment arm the Immunopheresis® procedure is combined with low dose chemotherapy to potentially enhancing the latter's cytotoxic effect."

Low dose chemotherapy will be provided to patient either IV or oraly depending on the regimen used.
