Brief Summary:
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a new drug aimed at controlling disease activity in patients diagnosed with primary haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. The new drug can be administered as the first-line therapy, to patients not previously treated with the current standard of care, or can be given to patients who have either failed or were unable to tolerate the current standard of care. Administration will be on top of a glucocorticosteroid, which is usually part of the current recommended treatment.

Detailed Description:

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a new drug aimed at controlling disease activity in patients diagnosed with primary haemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. The new drug can be administered as the first-line therapy, to patients not previously treated with the current standard of care, or can be given to patients who have either failed or were unable to tolerate the current standard of care. Administration will be on top of a glucocorticosteroid, which is usually part of the current recommended treatment.

All participants in the NI-0501-04 study (NCT01818492) were invited to participate in the long-term follow-up study NI-0501-05 (NCT02069899). For the primary completion date, mentioned here, we refer to the NI-0501-04 study, even though in accordance with the NI-0501-04 study objectives, namely the assessment of long-term efficacy and safety endpoints, the study analyses also included data collected in the long-term follow-up study NI-0501-05. Hence these data are reported together. Study NI-0501-05 accepts patients from NI-0501-04 and NI-0501-06. Data collection for the patients from NI-0501-04 is completed.

The primary efficacy and safety analyses are based on the regulatory cut-off date of 20 July 2017. Refer to the publication in N Engl J Med 2020 May 7; 382 (19):1811-1822. Follow-on analyses have been conducted on all patients enrolled in the study, i.e. including the patients enrolled after the cut-off date of 20 July 2017. The results reported here refer to the totality of the 45 patients enrolled.

    Maintenance of response achieved any time during the study

  3. Overall Survival [ Time Frame: Time from the date of first dose to last dose, or 8 weeks after first dose. ]
    Number of patients being alive at end of treatment or at week 8, pending on which comes first.

  4. Number of Patients Able to Reduce Glucocorticoids [ Time Frame: End of Treatment (3 days after the last infusion of emapalumab in study NI-0501-04, occurring between 4 and 8 weeks. ]
    Number of patients able to reduce glucocorticoids by 50% or more and between ≥30%-<50%, of baseline dose at EOT 04.

  5. Cumulative Duration of Response [ Time Frame: up to start of HSCT conditioning, whenever HSCT conditioning is scheduled (at least 4 weeks after treatment start), or End of Treatment 04/05 (if the patient did not have HSCT performed) ]
    Percent of treatment time in response from the first achievement of an Overall Response until HSCT conditioning, or End of Treatment 04/05 (if the patient did not have HSCT performed) Where applicable, data were collected in both NI-0501-04 and long-term follow-up study NI-0501-05.

  6. Survival Pre-HSCT [ Time Frame: Assessed up to HSCT, whenever HSCT occurred (up to approximately 6 months after treatment initiation) ]

    Time from the date of first dose to the date of death, expressed in Kaplan-Meier survival probability estimates. Patients who receive HSCT will be censored at that date; patients who did not receive HSCT will be censored at last date of contact.

    Where applicable, data were collected in both NI-0501-04 and long-term follow-up study NI-0501-05.


  7. Survival Post-HSCT [ Time Frame: Assessed up to Last Observation (up to 1 year after transplant, or up to approximately 18 months after treatment initiation) ]
    Time from the date of first dose to the date of death, expressed in Kaplan-Meier survival probability estimates. Patients without an event will be censored at last assessment date in either the NI-0501-04 or NI-0501-05 study. Patients who do not proceed to HSCT will be excluded from this analysis.
