Brief summary
This study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of DEP (liposomal doxorubicin, etoposide and methylprednisolone) together with PD-1 antibody as an treatment for EBV associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.
Detailed description
PD-1 antibody added to the DEP regimen (with or without asparaginases) in EBV-HLH,

Intervention model description
All patients with EBV- HLH receive DEP combine with PD-1 antibody as an treatment.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Evaluation of treatment response | Change from before and 2,4,6 and 8 weeks after initiating DEP combine with PD-1 antibody therapy | The primary observed endpoint is the objective remission rate (ORR): cases that include complete remission (CR) and partial remission (PR).CR was defined as normalization of all of the quantifiable symptoms and laboratory markers of HLH, including levels of sCD25, ferritin, and triglyceride; hemoglobin; neutrophil counts; platelet counts; and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). PR was defined as at least a 25% improvement in 2 or more quantifiable symptoms and laboratory markers as follows: sCD25 response was\>1.5-fold decreased; ferritin and triglyceride decreased at least 25%; for patients with an initial neutrophil count of\<0.5 ×109/L, a response was defined as an increase by at least 100% to\>0.5× 109/L; for patients with a neutrophil count of 0.5 to 2.0 × 109/L, an increase by at least 100% to \>2.0 × 109/L was considered a response; and for patients with ALT \>400 U/L, response was defined as an ALT decrease of at least 50%. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| EBV-DNA | Change from before and 2,4,6 and 8 weeks after initiating DEP combine with PD-1 antibody therapy | EBV-DNA copies/ml in peripheral blood |
| Survival | 3 months after the intervention | Outcome of patients with EBV-HLH |
| Adverse events that are related to treatment | 2,4,6 and 8 weeks after initiating DEP combine with PD-1 antibody therapy | Incidence of events that are related to treatment including myelosuppression, infection, bleeding and so on. |
