PG - 870-879 LID - 10.1111/cts.12947 [doi] AB - L-asparaginase has been an important component of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) therapy for over 40 years, and is standard therapy during ALL induction and consolidation treatment. L-asparaginases are immunogenic and can induce hypersensitivity reactions; inability to receive asparaginase has been associated with poor patient outcomes. There are L-asparaginases of varied bacterial origins, with the most commonly used being Escherichia coli (E. coli); therefore, to ensure that patients who develop hypersensitivity to E. coli-derived asparaginases receive an adequate therapeutic course, alternative preparations are warranted. JZP-458 is a recombinant Erwinia asparaginase produced using a novel Pseudomonas fluorescens expression platform that yields an enzyme with no immunologic cross-reactivity to E. coli-derived asparaginases. To evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics (PK) of a single dose of JZP-458, a randomized, single-center, open-label, phase I study was conducted with JZP-458 given via i.m. injection or i.v. infusion to healthy adult volunteers. At the highest doses tested for each route of administration (i.e., 25 mg/m(2) i.m. and 37.5 mg/m(2) i.v.), JZP-458 achieved serum asparaginase activity (SAA) levels >/= 0.1 IU/mL at 72 hours postdose for 100% of volunteers. Bioavailability for i.m. JZP-458 was estimated at 36.8% based on SAA data. All dose levels were well-tolerated, with no unanticipated adverse events (AEs), no serious AEs, and no grade 3 or higher AEs. Based on PK and safety data, the recommended JZP-458 starting dose for the pivotal phase II/III study in adult and pediatric patients is 25 mg/m(2) i.m. and 37.5 mg/m(2) i.v. on a Monday/Wednesday/Friday dosing schedule.
