简要总结

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis cells. A donor stem cell transplant may be able to replace blood-forming cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Cyclosporine and methotrexate may stop this from happening.

PURPOSE: This phase III trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy followed by a donor stem cell transplant works in treating patients with hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Provide and evaluate revised induction and maintenance therapy comprising etoposide, dexamethasone, and cyclosporine, in terms of achieving and maintaining an acceptable clinical condition in order to perform a curative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT), in patients with primary inherited or severe and persistent secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH).
  • Evaluate and improve the outcome of AHSCT with various types of donors.
  • Determine the prognostic importance of the state of remission at the time of AHSCT.
  • Evaluate the neurological complications, in terms of early neurological alterations and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) findings, in patients treated with this regimen.

Secondary

  • Improve the understanding of the pathophysiology of HLH by conducting biological studies of genetics and cytotoxicity in these patients, including genotype-phenotype studies and the prognostic value of natural killer (NK) cell activity subtyping.
