What is Erwinaze?

Erwinaze (asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi/Erwinia asparaginase) is an FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) approved medication manufactured by EUSA Pharma (USA), Inc.

It is an asparagine-specific enzyme indicated as a component of a multi-agent chemotherapeutic regimen for the treatment of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and lymphoblastic lymphoma for persons who are hypersensitive to Oncaspar (pegaspargase), or as induction therapy for patients aged 65 years and older.

What doses of Erwinaze are available?

Erwinaze is available in lyophilized powder form, in the following doses: 10,000 International Units per vial.

The recommended dose for each planned dose of pegaspargase is 25,000 International Units/m2, administered intramuscularly or intravenously 3 times a week (Monday/Wednesday/Friday) for 6 doses. To substitute for a dose of native E. coli asparaginase, the recommended dose is 25,000 International Units/m2 administered intramuscularly or intravenously for each scheduled dose of native E. coli asparaginase.

Limit the volume of reconstitution at a single injection site to 2 mL. If the reconstituted dose to be administered is greater than 2 mL, use multiple injection sites.

Outside of the U.S., Erwinaze is sold under the name Erwinase. Please consult local labeling and prescribing information for product information specific to your country. Always speak with your healthcare provider about any changes to your dose so they can monitor and evaluate your condition.

Erwinaze active ingredients

Asparaginase Erwinia chrysanthemi catalyzes the breakdown of asparagine to aspartic acid and ammonia, reducing circulating levels of asparagine. The mechanism of action of Erwinaze is thought to be based on the inability of leukemic cells to synthesize asparagine due to a lack of asparagine synthetase activity, resulting in cytotoxicity specific for leukemic cells that depend on an external; source of amino acid asparagine for their protein metabolism and survival.
