Safety of Plasma Aβ1-42 and Aβ1-40 Reduction with H.E.A.L.E.R (Haemoadsorption for Extracorporeal Amyloid-β Level Expedited Reduction) using BETACLEAR BICARB 1000 in Healthy Elderly Individuals
BETACLEAR BICARB 1000 will be used as the treatment modality in this study. It is a sodium bicarbonate compound with enhanced beta-amyloid extraction features that will be used as a component of dialysate in conjunction with a high-flux membrane dialyzer configuration for a haemodialysis procedure in bypass mode. The primary components in the procedure include BETACLEAR, a standard haemodialysis machine, a high-flux dialyzer and RO water. In standard hemodialysis, the blood runs through the dialysis machine, passing through a dialyzing chamber where any toxins in the patient’s blood pass through a semi-permeable membrane. The toxins then get washed away with a dialysate mixture on the other side of the membrane while the albumin remains with the blood. The active agent in BETACLEAR BICARB 1000, used in this process, specifically targets beta-amyloids and facilitates their extraction from the blood. The result is a reduction in the levels of toxic beta-amyloids (Aβ1-40 and Aβ1-42) in the patient’s body.
