Hypersensitivity to Recombinant Erwinia Asparaginase (JZP458) in Acute
Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Management With Desensitization
Abstract
Hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) may occur in patients receiving
asparaginase for acute lymphoblastic leukemia/lymphoblastic lymphoma and
this may prevent treatment completion and lead to inferior clinical
outcomes. Patients with grade 2-4 HSRs to an Escherichia coli ( E.
coli)-derived asparaginase are recommended to switch to an
Erwinia-derived asparaginase. In this case report, a pediatric
patient with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia experienced HSRs to
both E. coli-derived calaspargase pegol and recombinant
Erwinia asparaginase JZP458. After an unsuccessful
desensitization for calaspargase pegol, we developed a novel
intramuscular desensitization protocol for JZP458, which was successful
in delivering all scheduled asparaginase doses and maintaining
asparaginase activity.
