Incidence and Characteristics of Hypersensitivity Reactions to PEG-asparaginase Observed in 6136 Children With Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Enrolled in the AIEOP-BFM ALL 2009 Study Protocol.


ABSTRACT: The incidence of hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) to PEG-asparaginase (PEG-ASNase) was evaluated in 6136 children with ALL enrolled in the AIEOP-BFM ALL 2009 study. Patients with B-cell precursor-acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) were stratified as standard-risk/medium-risk (MR)/high-risk (HR) and those with T-ALL as non-High/HR. PEG-ASNase was administered intravenously at 2500 IU/sqm/dose. All patients received 2 PEG-ASNase doses in induction; thereafter non-HR versus HR patients received 1 versus 6 PEG-ASNase doses, respectively. After the single regular dose of PEG-ASNase at the beginning of delayed intensification, BCP-ALL-MR patients were randomized to receive 9 additional PEG-ASNase doses every 2 weeks (experimental arm [EA]) versus none (standard arm [SA]); HR patients were randomized to receive, in consolidation, 4 weekly PEG-ASNase doses (EA) versus none (SA). The HSR cumulative incidence (CI) was estimated adjusting for competing risks. An HSR occurred in 472 of 6136 (7.7%) patients. T-non- HR/BCP-Standard-Risk, BCP-MR-SA, BCP-MR-EA, HR-SA and HR-EA patients had 1-year-CI-HSR (±SE) rates of 5.2% (0.5), 5.2% (0.5), 4.0% (0.8), 20.2% (1.2), and 6.4% (1.3), respectively. The randomized intensification of PEG-ASNase did not significantly impact on HSR incidence in BCP-MR patients (1-y-CI-HSR 3.8% [0.8] versus 3.2% [0.6] in MR-EA versus MR-SA; P = 0.55), while impacted significantly in HR patients (1-y-CI-HSR 6.4% [1.3] versus 17.9% [1.8] in HR-EA and HR-SA, respectively; P < 0.001). The CI-HSR was comparable among non-HR groups and was not increased by a substantial intensification of PEG-ASNase in the BCP-MR-EA group whilst it was markedly higher in HR-SA than in HR-EA patients, suggesting that, in such a chemotherapy context, a continuous exposure to PEG-ASNase reduces the risk of developing an HSR.
