Popis: Background/aim L-Asparaginase (L-ASNase) is used as a tumor-inhibitory drug on paediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). ERW-ASNase is commercialised as a lyophilized powder stable only for 8 hours once reconstituted and, consequently, the leftover is usually discarded. The aim of this study will be to analyse the stability of the reconstituted lyophilised ERW-ASNase. Materials and methods In the present study, we analysed the enzymatic stability of reconstituted ERW-ASNase after conservation in three different temperature conditions for 2 and 5 days. Results Our results show that ERW-ASNase is stable at 4°C, -20°C and -80°C for up to 5 days, retaining 95% of the initial enzymatic activity in all three storage temperatures tested. Conclusion It is feasible to reuse the remaining content of ERW-ASNase vial after reconstitution, which allows the optimization of the content of ERW-ASNase vials use and reduces the cost of this formulation usage, making it more accessible.
