Purpose of study |
Principal objective:
- To determine the percentage of patients having an altered enzymatic activity of E coli-asparaginase(<100 UI/L) and a high antibody level to detect the children known as "silent responders".
Secondary objective:
- To elaborate a population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic model using the primary pharmacokinetic parameters of E coli-asparaginase previously selected, predicting the evolution of the amino-acid depletion according to the variations of enzyme activity and antibody levels. |

Summary of study design, objectives, and ongoing research findings |
Descriptive pilot, trial in 30 children included in the protocol Fralle 2000. The individual monitoring asparaginase activity coupled with the measurement of L-asparagine and glutamine levels, the search and titration of antibodies during induction and first intensification will allow to determine the percentage of children
"silent responders". |
