Asparaginase is an enzyme used as an antineoplastic agent primarily in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It works by depleting the amino acid asparagine, which leukemia cells are unable to synthesize, thereby inhibiting their growth. Asparaginase is approved and in use, especially as a part of multiagent chemotherapy protocols for pediatric and adult ALL.
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic parameters for Erwinia asparaginase (crisantaspase) in pediatric patients with ALL who developed hypersensitivity to E. coli-derived asparaginase, following intravenous administration of 25,000 IU/m2.
