ERYTECH Pharma Declares Positive Results in Asparaginase Phase II Trials


About thirty affected individuals having more than 55 years old are diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) that is included in Phase II trial. All the affected individuals received various doses of erythrocyte encapsulated Asparaginase that is in conjunction with the chemotherapy. It is mostly recommended by the European Working group for Adult Lymphoblastic Leukemia (EWALL).

Most of the medical experts said that the Asparaginase is the powerful medication to cure ALL, but at present, this dose is not given to the treatment for those old affected individuals who are particularly weak for toxicity reasons. Erythrocyte encapsulated Asparaginase is the first induction treatment that has shown positive safety profile even in the old aged affected individuals.

At the normal dosage of the medicine, 91% of the affected individuals at the end of the treatment reached to lowest level and an average overall survival was 15.6 months. The enrolment of the affected individuals was ended up in expectations.
