Leiah Brigitha, Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology, Utrecht, The Netherlands, briefly discusses the role of Erwinia asparaginase in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). PEG-asparaginase is commonly used in first-line ALL treatment as it is more convenient due to a lower frequency of administration, however Erwinia asparaginase is a good alternative in these patients if PEG-asparaginase treatment must be discontinued or is not available for any reason. This interview took place at the 65th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition, held in San Diego, CA.
