ABSTRACT
We examined the efficacy and adverse events of continuous l-asparaginase administration in dogs with large cell lymphoma of presumedgastrointestinal (GI) origin. We retrospectively reviewed medical records of dogs with large cell lymphoma of presumed GI origin treated with continuous l-asparaginase administration from 2009 to 2018. We collected information on the signalment, lesion site, complete blood count, serum biochemical profile, diagnostic imaging findings, cytological and histopathological findings, immunophenotype, l-asparaginase administration frequency, treatment response, adverse events, rescue protocol, and patient outcomes. Clinical outcomes were assessed using medical records or by contacting the owner or referring veterinarian. Thirty-two dogs with large cell lymphoma of presumed GI origin received weekly l-asparaginase administration. The median number of l-asparaginase injections was seven (range 1-30). Although two of the 32 dogs had GI toxicity of grade 3 or higher, none developed a hypersensitivity reaction. The response rate based on ultrasonographic findings was 18/32 (56%) and that based on clinical signs was 30/32 (94%). The median overall progression-free survival was 50 days (range 2-214 days), and median overall survival was 147 days (range 2-482 days). Adverse events associated with continuous l-asparaginase administration were rare. Clinical signs at diagnosis improved in most cases. Based on these results, continuous l-asparaginase administration appears to be a reasonable treatment option for dogs with large cell lymphoma of presumed GI origin.
