Incidence of patients who develop hyperammonemia
Assessed by measuring ammonia levels via blood test. Baseline ammonia level will be determined around the time of consent. During the first two recombinant Erwinia asparaginase (Rylaze®) courses, there will be two blood draws per week. Each course of recombinant Erwinia asparaginase (Rylaze®) lasts for two weeks, so there will be four blood draws per course.
