Cerebral sinovenous thrombosis and asparaginase re-exposure in patients aged 1-45 years with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia: A NOPHO ALL2008 study.

ABSTRACT: Cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT) is a serious complication during asparaginase therapy in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). We identified 46 patients with CSVT among 2651 patients (1‒45 years) treated according to the Nordic Society of Paediatric Haematology and Oncology (NOPHO) ALL2008 protocol between 2008 and 2018. CSVT cases were prospectively registered in the NOPHO database with retrospective updates. We examined the frequency of asparaginase re-exposure after CSVT, potential factors associated with asparaginase truncation, and sequelae after CSVT. This work was supported by the Danish Cancer Society and the Danish Childhood Cancer Foundation. The 2.5-year cumulative incidence of CSVT was 1.9% (95% confidence interval 1.4%-2.5%). The majority of patients (74%, <
