Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

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.
