We investigated supportive therapy against coagulopathy associated with L-asparaginase treatment in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who were enrolled in the Japanese Pediatric Leukemia/Lymphoma Study Group (JPLSG), Japan Adult Leukemia Study Group (JALSG), and foreign institutes. Fresh frozen plasma (FFP) was administered as a supplement in 46% patients in the JPLSG and 86% in the JALSG. The threshold level of FFP infusion was less than 100 mg/dl plasma fibrinogen in 70% of the JALSG and 20% of the JPLSG, while in another 20% of the JPLSG, FFP was administered when the fibrinogen level was less than 50 mg/dl. The preventive use of antithrombin products (AT) was prescribed in 93% of the JPLSG and 63% of the JALSG: The threshold level of AT supplementation was less than 70% of plasma antithrombin activity, which was similar in both groups. Most foreign institutes do not routinely use FFP or AT.
