An interventional study of Teniposide in HLH, sponsored by Beijing Friendship Hospital. Recruiting at 1 site in China. Open to participants aged 14 Years to 60 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2023-11-02.
Sponsored by Beijing Friendship Hospital · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a highly inflammatory disease involving cytokine storms and is characterised by rapid progression and high mortality. There are no uniform clinical criteria for the diagnosis of CNS-HLH.And there is still a lack of international consensus on the treatment for CNS-HLH. Following allogeneic HSCT after HLH induction therapy is recommended for CNS-HLH. One of the major factors influencing the transplantation effect is conditioning. Therefore, we conduct a prospective clinical study to explore the efficacy and safety of Teniposide incorporating Bu/Cy conditioning regimen followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for HLH with central nervous system involvement.
Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a highly inflammatory disease involving cytokine storms and is characterised by rapid progression and high mortality. HLH with central nervous system involvement (CNS-HLH) is a type of inflammatory factor storm that affects the blood-brain barrier and further infiltrates brain tissue, causing patients to exhibit corresponding neurological and/or psychiatric symptoms. It can be the first symptom of HLH or occur in the later stages of HLH, and can be an independent symptom or accompanied by other symptoms. In recent years, with the deepening of research on HLH, CNS-HLH has gradually received attention and is often associated with poor prognosis. There are no uniform clinical criteria for the diagnosis of CNS-HLH. And there is still a lack of international consensus on the treatment for CNS-HLH. Following allogeneic HSCT after HLH induction therapy is recommended for CNS-HLH. One of the major factors influencing the transplantation effect is conditioning.

Beijing Friendship Hospital is the lead sponsor of 216 studies on the registry; 95 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
According to the different causes of HLH, meeting the following conditions is defined as CNS-HLH.
I. Definition of CNS-HLH in EBV-HLH: a significant increase of EBV-DNA copies/ml in peripheral blood or tissue or EBER(+) in tissue specimens or peripheral blood. Meanwhile cerebrospinal fluid EBV-DNA ≥5×10\^2 copies/ml.
II.Definition of CNS-HLH in primary HLH: Nervous system symptom/sign or cerebrospinal fluid cell increase (> 5 cells/μ L) and/or cerebrospinal fluid protein abnormality (> 35mg/dL) and/or brain parenchyma or meningeal abnormality in cranial imaging during the onset or course of HLH.
III. Definition of CNS-HLH of lymphoma-associated HLH: Cerebrospinal fluid flow cytology or brain histopathology confirmed that lymphoma involved CNS. Cerebrospinal fluid EBV-DNA ≥5×10\^2 copies/ml are also defined as CNS-HLH for EBV positive lymphoma-associated HLH.
Exclusion Criteria:
Drug: Teniposide
Teniposide is semisynthetic analogues of podophyllotoxin, and they are used in the treatment of leukemia, lymphoma, and certain sorts of solid tumors.In addition, tiniposide has central permeability and is commonly used in the treatment of central nervous system tumors.
Also known as: VM-26
The clinical remission rate
The number of cases with complete response (CR) and partial response (PR) after ransplantation as a percentage of the total cases.
Time frame: 24 weeks
