  Purpose

Asparaginase is an important drug i the treatment of childhood leukaemia.

The aim of this project is to study the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and antibody development during continuous versus intermittent PEG-asparaginase treatment. Clinical adverse effects are registered focusing especially on allergy.

The primary hypothesis is that allergic reactions during treatment with PEG-asparaginase are related to the development of IgE-asparaginase antibodies.

Perspectives are new knowledge about PEG-asparaginase treatment regarding dosing, dosing interval, adverse effects and EFS, which hopefully leads to improvement of future therapy

Study group: Children diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in the Nordic Countries

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Asparagine depletion [ Time Frame: Up to 30 weeks of treatment ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Bloodsamples and cerebrospinalfluidsamples are collected at certain timepoints during 30 weeks of treatment with PEG-asparaginase. They are analysed for asparagine, asparaginase-enzymeactivity and asparaginase-antibodies.These measures tell about the effect of the drug, PEG-asparaginase.


Biospecimen Retention:   Samples With DNA

Blood, Cerebrospinal fluid
