New dosing regimen for asparaginase erwinia chrysanthemi (recombinant) is approved by FDA

Share This Post

Dec 2022: A new Monday-Wednesday-Friday dosing schedule for asparaginase erwinia chrysanthemi (recombinant)-rywn has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (Rylaze, Jazz Pharmaceuticals). Patients should receive 25 mg/m2 intramuscularly on Monday and Wednesday in the morning and 50 mg/m2 intramuscularly on Friday in the afternoon under the modified protocol. Additionally, it is permitted to be injected intramuscularly at a dose of 25 mg/m2 every 48 hours.

In June 2021, the FDA authorised Rylaze as a part of a multi-agent chemotherapy regimen for adult and paediatric patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) and lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL) who have developed an allergy to asparaginase produced from E. coli.


In Study JZP458-201 (NCT04145531), an open-label multicenter experiment in which Rylaze was delivered at various dosages and methods, the pharmacokinetics of Rylaze were assessed in 225 patients. The results were used to create a model to forecast blood asparaginase activity at various timepoints.

Based on a simulation in a fictitious population, the achievement and maintenance of nadir serum asparaginase activity (NSAA) above the level of 0.1 U/mL was used to determine efficacy. Following the 25 mg/m2 dose of Rylaze on Wednesday morning and the 50 mg/m2 dose on Friday afternoon, according to simulation results, the proportion of patients maintaining NSAA 0.1 U/mL would be 91.6% (95% CI: 90.4%, 92.8%) and 91.4% (95% CI: 90.1%, 92.6%), respectively.

Neutropenia, anaemia, or thrombocytopenia were observed in all patients given Rylaze at the indicated dosages as part of multi-agent chemotherapy. Atypical liver tests, nausea, musculoskeletal pain, infections, fatigue, headaches, febrile neutropenia, pyrexia, haemorrhage, stomatitis, abdominal pain, decreased appetite, drug hypersensitivity, hyperglycemia, diarrhoea, pancreatitis, and hypokalemia were the most frequent nonhematological adverse reactions (incidence > 20%) in patients.

Companies in Korea takes a step closer in developing home grown CAR T-Cell therapy

Due to high costs, treatments developed by multinational pharmaceutical corporations are difficult for Korean patients to access. As a result, Korean businesses have created and localised CAR-T treatments in an effort to address these issues. Many businesses have either begun developing CAR-T therapies or declared their intention to do so, including Curocell, Abclon, GC Cell, Ticaros, Helixmith, Toolgen, Cllengene, Eutilex, and Vaxcell Bio.
