Treatments tested in this trial
dose-modified E-Ru
DrugEmapalumab (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 intervention1\) 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.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
60-days OS
overall survival (OS) rate at 60 days (2-month OS)
Secondary outcomes
Response rate
The ORR was defined as the percentage of patients with a complete response (CR), a partial response (PR), or an improvement in the measures of HLH.
Security
Adverse events (AEs) were assessed according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 5.0 (CTCAE 5.0).
EFS
event-free survival, defined as the time from the first administration of E-Ru until no response on day 7, disease progression or death from any cause
Overall survival
OS (defined as the time from the first administration of E-Ru until death from any cause)
