“We are proud to be working with the NOPHO group and look forward to their presentation of new clinical data for the treatment of ALL at ASH this year. Alongside the POP PK analysis, the reporting of the NOPHO study represents significant progress towards our goal of finding a potential path forward with the FDA for eryaspase in ALL,” said Dr. Iman El-Hariry, ERYTECH’s Chief Medical Officer. “We believe that our science-driven approach to the development of eryaspase will provide a new option for people with ALL and, potentially, other haematological malignancies and solid tumours.”

Data included in the abstracts is based on data cut-offs in second quarter 2020. The final oral presentation and poster will include additional data collected between the abstract submission cut-off and the ASH congress.

About Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a cancer of the blood and bone marrow that is the most common type of cancer in children in the US and Europe. More than 13,000 cases are diagnosed in the US and Europe each year with the majority of patients diagnosed before age 20. Asparaginase has been an integral component of ALL treatment for several years but is associated with treatment-limiting hypersensitivity in up to 30% of patients. Discontinuation of asparaginase therapy in ALL patients has been associated with inferior event free survival highlighting the need for additional asparaginase based treatment options.
