We are thrilled to announce our upcoming webinar titled “The Science of ECP in Transplantation.” This session will illuminate the transformative therapeutic potential and mechanisms of Extracorporeal Photopheresis (ECP) in the fight against organ transplant rejection.
Acute rejection affects approximately 25% of transplant recipients within the first year, presenting itself in either cellular (ACR) or antibody-mediated (AMR) forms. Moreover, long-term chronic rejection poses a significant threat to graft viability and patient survival, underscoring the urgent need for innovative therapies that effectively balance immunosuppression without undermining the immune system’s vital role in combating infections and malignancies.
As a groundbreaking immune-modulating approach, ECP holds the promise of targeting alloimmune responses while preserving essential immune functions. Yet, understanding the intricate mechanisms of ECP remains essential for harnessing its full potential.
Programme Highlights:
- Introduction – Bill Scott
- Why is understanding ECP mechanisms important for clinicians? – Andrew Fisher
- ECP in Solid Organ Transplantation – Mechanistic Perspectives – James Hutchinson
- Personalising the use of ECP in heart transplant recipients – Markus J. Barten
- Q&A – Full Panel
- Wrap up and Closing Remarks – Bill Scott
This one-hour session will provide transplant professionals with valuable insights into ECP’s role in transplantation and offer the latest perspectives on its application and personalisation in patient care.
