Терапевтични показания:

Erwinase is used in combination with other anti-neoplastic agents to treat acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. It may also be used in other neoplastic conditions where depletion of asparagines might be expected to have a useful effect. Patients receiving treatment with L-asparaginase from Escherichia coli, and who develop hypersensitivity to that enzyme may be able to continue treatment with Erwinase as the enzymes are immunologically distinct.

should it occur,
during administration.
Careful observation is required on re-exposure to L-asparaginase after
any time interval (e.g.
between induction and consolidation), which may increase the risk of
anaphylactic reactions
occurring.
