Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Emapalumab, then Standard IST

Participants will first receive Emapalumab for 6 weeks. After treatment with emapalumab, participants will receive standard IST with drugs called equine anti-thymocyte globulin (hATG) and cyclosporin (CsA) in addition to a lower dose of emapalumab

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Emapalumab

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Emapalumab is an interferon gamma (IFNγ) blocking antibody

Emapalumab, then HCT

Participants will first receive Emapalumab for 6 weeks. After treatment with emapalumab, participants will have a standard hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
