Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Male and female HLH patients of any age.
- Patients diagnosed with confirmed or suspected pHLH, based on; a molecular diagnosis or familial history consistent with pHLH or fulfilment of HLH-2004 diagnostic criteria, i.e., five out of eight of the criteria below:
- Fever
- Splenomegaly
- Cytopenias affecting 2 of 3 lineages in the peripheral blood (hemoglobin \<90 g/L; platelets \<100 x 109/L; neutrophils \<1 x 109/L)
- Hypertriglyceridemia (fasting triglycerides ≥3 mmol/L or ≥265 mg/dL) and/or hypofibrinogenemia (≤1.5 g/L)
- Hemophagocytosis in bone marrow, spleen, or lymph nodes, with no evidence of malignancy.
- Low or absent NK-cell activity
- Ferritin ≥500 μg/L
- Soluble CD25 (sCD25; i.e., soluble IL-2 receptor) ≥2400 U/mL
- Presence of active HLH disease as assessed by the investigator.
- Patients must fulfil one of the following criteria as assessed by the investigator:
- Having not responded to previous conventional treatment of HLH
- Having not achieved a satisfactory response to previous conventional treatment of HLH or worsened
- Having reactivated HLH
- +5 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Diagnosis of secondary HLH consequent to a proven rheumatic, metabolic or neoplastic disease.
- Active mycobacteria, Histoplasma capsulatum, Salmonella, or Leishmania infections.
- Evidence of latent tuberculosis.
- Presence of malignancy.
- Existence of any severe co-morbidity or any other medical condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, makes the patient unsuitable for the treatment
- History of hypersensitivity or allergy to any component of the study regimen (e.g., polysorbate).
- Receipt of a Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccine within 12 weeks prior to Screening.
- Receipt of a live or attenuated live (other than BCG) vaccine within 4 weeks prior to Screening.
- Pregnant or lactating female patients.
- Any condition or circumstance that in the opinion of the Investigator may make the patient unlikely to complete the study or comply with study procedures or requirements.
