ABSTRACT
l-asparaginase is a first-line medicine used for the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Differing quality of marketed l-asparaginase biosimilars has been reported to adversely influence treatment outcomes. Herein, the quality of l-asparaginase biosimilars intended for clinical use was reviewed in sight of quality assurance parameters using English and Chinese language database searching, which provided information for possible improvements to the manufacture of this medicine. Ten articles met inclusion criteria, and quality attributes that measured potency, specific activity, purity and host cell proteins (HCPs) were identified. Biosimilars manufactured in high-income countries represented good quality in all aspects. Biosimilars manufactured in high-middle/middle-income countries, however, suggested poorer quality control particularly over removal of HCPs. Future work should now focus on establishing pharmacopeia monographs to establish equivalent quality assurance for l-asparaginase biosimilars manufactured between countries. Standardization of the quality profile, analytical methods and the limits of critical quality parameters, are essential to ensure appropriated efficacy and safety of clinical grade l-asparaginase.
