Table 5

Novel strategies/devices of exosomal removal for cancer and infectious disease therapy.

Mechanism of exosomal removalDiseaseEffectRef.

Extracorporeal hemofiltration of exosomesHepatitis CMinimize viral titers in patients[39]

Exosome enervation by Dimethyl amiloride (DMA) in miceColorectal cancerRestore the cyclophosphamide (CTX) anti-tumor effect through the inhibition of MDSC functions [40]

Extracorporeal filtration of exosomes (The Hemopurifier)Advanced stage of cancer patientsTo remove exosomes from the blood [41]

Adjunct therapeutic method HER2osomeBreast cancerDecrease the tumor secreted HER2 containing exosomes in circulation and afterward impede HER2 positive breast cancer progression[42]
