Therapeutic plasma exchange clears circulating soluble PD-L1 and PD-L1-positive extracellular vesicles

Abstract

Here, we report the first known clinical intervention to remove either sPD-L1 or evPD-L1 from plasma in vivo. TPE reduces plasma sPD-L1 and evPD-L1 in vivo and may have a role in treatment with immunotherapy. TPE may also prove useful in patients with other extracellular vesicle-related conditions.
