Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • dose-modified E-Ru

    Drug

    Emapalumab (1-2 mg/kg intravenously once weekly for 8 weeks) + Ruxolitinib (15-30 mg orally twice daily for 8 weeks)

  • Salvage treatment and follow-up

    Other intervention

    1\) for patients who did not respond to the E-Ru regimen after 7 days or who relapsed at any point during treatment, a rescue regimen such as HLH-94 or doxorubicin-etoposide-methylprednisolone (DEP) was administered; 2) for patients diagnosed with lymphoma after enrollment, chemotherapy was initiated; 3) for patients who completed 8 weeks of treatment without recurrence and had no detected HLH-related gene mutations, follow-up was initiated; and 4) for patients who met the criteria for allo-HSCT, allo-HSCT was performed.
