Prevention of Subsequent L-Asparaginase Hypersensitivity in Children Through Premedication: A Single-Center Experience.

Key Points

• The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of a premedication protocol in preventing hypersensitivity reactions to L-asparaginase in children.
• Implemented a premedication protocol for children with a history of severe hypersensitivity reactions.
• Conducted the study in a resource-limited setting.
• Monitored the safety and efficacy of continuing L-asparaginase therapy.
• The premedication protocol allowed children to safely continue L-asparaginase treatment.
• No severe hypersensitivity reactions occurred following premedication.
• This approach may enhance access to crucial chemotherapy treatments.
