• Evidence of malignancy
• Culture evidence of systemic bacterial infection at the time of screening
• Family history of familial HLH
• Evidence of any of the following; Creatinine at the time of screening > 2X ULN or > twofold increase from patient's baseline creatinine within past 3 months (if known); Albumin < 1.5 at the time of screening; Mechanical ventilation at the time of screening; Hypotension requiring use of pressors at the time of screening
