Circulate Health Publishes Results of Multiomics Study Demonstrating Impact of Therapeutic Plasma Exchange on Biological Age in Aging Cell
First-of-its kind trial shows that therapeutic plasma exchange combined with intravenous immunoglobulin reduced biological age on average by 2.6 years, as measured by multi-omics biomarkers
NOVATO, Calif., May 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Circulate Health, the company dedicated to harnessing the potential of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) to advance human healthspan and lifespan, today announces the publication of a single blind, human clinical trial in Aging Cell. This groundbreaking study, led by researchers from Circulate and the Buck Institute for Research on Aging provides promising early data on the impact of TPE on biological age, supporting its potential for new disease and longevity applications.
'Unfortunately, most so-called 'longevity interventions' lack proven effectiveness in humans. By conducting clinical trials, we aim to change that—this study marks the first step in demonstrating that plasma exchange can significantly improve key mechanisms of biological aging,' commented Dr. David Furman, senior author of the Aging Cell paper.
Therapeutic plasma exchange is a procedure that separates, removes, and replaces patient plasma to treat certain diseases. Multi-omics Analysis Reveals Biomarkers that Contribute to Biological Age Rejuvenation in Response to Therapeutic Plasma Exchange, investigated how TPE impacts biomarkers associated with biological age, including changes across the epigenome, proteome, metabolome, glycome, and immune system, alongside physical measures like balance and strength. Research participants were assigned one of four different treatment groups: 1) biweekly TPE, 2) biweekly TPE with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) 3) monthly TPE or 4) a control group.
The study found:
'This is the first interventional multi-omics study to examine the effectiveness of therapeutic plasma exchange modalities,' said Brad Younggren, MD, CEO and Co-founder of Circulate. 'Our findings show that plasma exchange and intravenous immunoglobulin are a powerful tool for biological age rejuvenation and provide compelling evidence that targeted plasma interventions can impact age-related molecular changes.'
'In this study, we examined thousands of molecular signatures to pinpoint key drivers of rejuvenation. Our characterization builds a better understanding of which baseline biomarkers are predictive of treatment response and lays a foundation upon which we can build personalized intervention plans for patients in the future,' said Eric Verdin, MD, President and CEO of the Buck Institute and Co-founder of Circulate. 'We are excited to expand our research to larger populations, increase access to these treatments for eligible patients, and continue to identify areas of unmet need where these therapies can make a meaningful difference.'
