NCT01547143

Brief Summary

The investigators would like to propose a pilot study evaluating the efficacy of etoposide combined with immunosuppressive agents for adult secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), in order to prove out whether the modification of previous HLH-94 or HLH-2004 protocol for childhood patients can improve the outcome and decrease the toxicities. The results of this pilot study will be a base of a more-improved phase-2 protocol.

Study Arms (1)

IST and/or alloHCT

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients who are newly diagnosed as HLH by HLH-2004 criteria, excluding those with HLH owing to malignancy or rheumatic disorder.

Drug: IST and/or alloHCT

Interventions

1\) Patients will be categorized by their initial serum ferritin level. 1. Mild ( ferritin\<3,000 μg/L): close observation 2. Moderate (ferritin: 3,000-10,000 μg/L): 1. Initiation : cyclosporine 3mg/kg p.o.bid + dexamethasone 10mg/m2/d po. or i.v. (D1-3) 2. continuation: cyclosporine 3mg/kg p.o. bid (D4-56) + dexamethasone 10mg/m2/d (D4-14), then tapering. 3. Severe (ferritin\>10,000 μg/L): 1. initiation : etoposide 100mg/m2/d i.v. + cyclosporine 2mg/kg i.v. q 12hours + dexamethasone 20mg/m2/d i.v. (D1-3) 2. continuation : etoposide 100mg/m2/day weekly (D15-49) + cyclosporine 2mg/kg i.v. q 12 hours? ? po. (D4-56) + dexamethasone 10mg/m2/d (D4-14), 5mg/m2/d (D15-28), 2.5mg/m2/d (D29-42), 1.25mg/m2/d (D43-56), then tapering off. 2\) AlloHCT for refractory or reactivated cases.
