First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study offers Erwinase, a different form of chemotherapy, to children and adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) who have had allergic reactions to standard L-asparaginase drugs. The goal is to provide a safe treatment option for those who cannot use the usual medications. Participants must have confirmed ALL and a history of allergic reactions to certain asparaginase formulations.
