PEG-L-Asparaginase (Oncaspar®) is a major compound of antineoplastic combination therapy for reinduction in acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in children and adults with known hypersensitivity. In the United States, it has been approved for many years as first-line treatment of children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. Its clinical benefits have been extensively described. In this report, a cost-minimisation analysis comparing the direct cost of PEG-L-asparaginase with that of native E. coli and Erwinia L-asparaginase treatment is described.
