Brief Summary

A protocol named as "HLH-DR" for patients with refractory and secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosismay.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 1/Phase 2

Detailed Description

A modified protocol about ruxolitinib combined with dexamethasone which includes oral ruxolitinib (2.5 mg twice daily for patients if the age<14 years and the weight <25kg,5 mg twice daily for patients if the age<14 years and the weight≥25kg, 10mg twice daily for patients if the age ≥14 years and<18 years). Dexamethasone (10mg/m2.d) delayes for the first 2 weeks (form week 1 to 2),(5mg/m2.d) from week 3 to 4,(2.5mg/m2.d) from week 5 to 6),1.25mg/m2.d for week 7,and dropped off on week 8. Every 2 weeks, patients can be evaluated based the diagnosed index
