The investigators evaluate the effectiveness and safeness of low-dose Recombinant Human Interleukin-2 (rhIL-2) for MAS.
Autoimmune-associated macrophage activation syndrome (MAS), also known as secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), is a rapidly progressing life-threatening disease. VP16 (Etoposide) is a well-known standard therapy, but is associated with substantial adverse effects, especially myelosuppression and infections , while steroids and ciclosporin (CSA) are not always efficient in this disease.
The investigators hypothesized that low- dose IL-2 could be a novel therapy in MAS. This clinical study will test the efficacy and safety of low dose IL-2 treatment in MAS. The investigators perform a single-centre pilot trial with rhIL-2 in MAS. The investigators evaluate the effectiveness and safeness of low-dose IL-2 for MAS.
