Asparaginase is a key component of chemotherapy protocols for the treatment of lymphoblastic malignancies among children. Adequate asparagine depletion is an important factor to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes.
Over a 3.5 year period, 106 patients were monitored for asparaginase activity (329 samples) in a single center of the Hungarian Pediatric Oncology-Hematology Group. In Hungary, three asparaginase products are available: native E. coli ASNase (Kidrolase), a pegylated form of this enzyme (Pegaspargase) and another native product from Erwinia chrysanthemi (Erwinase). A retrospective data analysis was performed.
In 81% (268/329) of our patients, AEA levels were in the optimal therapeutic range of over 100 IU/L. Of 106 patients, 13 (12%) were diagnosed with 'silent inactivation'.
Monitoring of AEA can help to identify patients with 'silent inactivation' and their asparaginase therapy can thus be optimized.
天冬酰胺酶是儿童淋巴细胞恶性肿瘤化疗方案的关键组成部分。充分的天冬酰胺消耗是实现最佳治疗效果的重要因素。
在3.5年的时间里,匈牙利儿科肿瘤血液学组的一个中心对106例患者的天冬酰胺酶活性进行了监测(共329份样本)。在匈牙利,有三种天冬酰胺酶产品可供使用:天然大肠杆菌天冬酰胺酶(Kidrolase)、该酶的聚乙二醇化形式(培门冬酶)以及来自菊欧文氏菌的另一种天然产品(Erwinase)。进行了回顾性数据分析。
在我们81%(268/329)的患者中,天冬酰胺酶活性(AEA)水平处于超过100 IU/L的最佳治疗范围内。在106例患者中,13例(12%)被诊断为“沉默失活”。
监测AEA有助于识别“沉默失活”的患者,从而优化他们的天冬酰胺酶治疗。
