Brief summary

The efficacy and safety of L-DEP (aspargase, liposomal doxorubicin, etoposide, and methylprednisolone) regimen combined with PD-1 Antibody an induction therapy for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.

Detailed description

Lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lympohistiocytosis is a refractory immune disorder with high mortality. Without early intervention, the median survival time is less than 2 months. Currently, HLH-94 or HLH-04 are the standard HLH treatment regimens, which have improved the disease response rate to approximately 70% and increased the 5-year OS rate to 50%. However, approximately, 30% of the patients remain unresponsive to standard therapy, especially if HLH is lymphoma-associated. Therefore, we conduct a prospective clinical study to explore the efficacy and safety of L-DEP (aspargase, liposomal doxorubicin, etoposide, and methylprednisolone) regimen combined with PD-1 Antibody an induction therapy for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive lymphoma-associated hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.

Interventions

Doxorubicin (doxorubicin hydrochloride liposome injection) 35 mg/m2 day 1; etoposide 75 mg/m2 day1; methylprednisolone 1.5mg/kg days 1 to 3, 0.25mg/kg day 4 to 14;aspargase 6000iu/m2 day2, day4; PD-1 antibody injection 200mg day 5.
