Experimental group
Description:
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
Treatment:
Biological: Emapalumab
Emapalumab, then HCT
Experimental group
Description:
Participants will first receive Emapalumab for 6 weeks. After treatment with emapalumab, participants will have a standard hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT).
