Overview

Brief Summary

Although it is difficult to conclude on the efficacy of the study due to the small number of patients enrolled in the study, no efficacy of the modified HLH-94 protocol was found in the patients for either the primary or secondary endpoints. Safety was considered limited in terms of the occurrence of serious adverse reactions to the study drug.
