It is an approved drug marketed as Gamifant.
Pharmacokinetics studied in pediatric and adult patients with primary HLH. Population PK modeling indicated a two-compartment model with linear clearance. Dosing in pivotal study was 1 mg/kg IV every 3 days for initial doses, with escalation up to 10 mg/kg based on response.
