What is the INTO-HLH Registry?

An electronic database designed to collect information about HLH and its treatments. Information is collected from participants' medical records and routine clinical care.

The Registry aims to advance what is known about HLH. The insights obtained from this Registry will help doctors to better manage HLH in the future.

Despite over 20 years of research, we do not know how effective HLH therapies are in real-world use, how often they fail or need to be adjusted, and what complications are seen in patients with HLH. For the most part, we only have the experience of expert physicians, but we need more data to make progress.

What are the objectives of the INTO-HLH Registry?

  • Understand more about how HLH progresses over time, including its symptoms and impact on patients' quality of life
  • Investigate how patients respond to treatments and what are the corresponding outcomes
  • Learn more about the long-term complications experienced by patients with HLH and the general well-being of patients and caregivers
