Abstract

Objective: Conduct an analysis of the therapeutic efficacy and safety of drugs and therapies derived from modern biotechnology for the treatment of Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Methods: An integrative review was conducted with a search in the PubMed/MEDLINE, SCOPUS, Web of Science, and Lilacs databases, and studies were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: After the search and selection, 30 articles were selected for full reading, grouped into 3 different categories. Studies conducted with L-asparaginase(L-ASNase) indicated that this drug is used in polychemotherapy regimens, and in some individuals, the administration of native E. coli L-ASNase results in the development of an allergy, requiring its replacement. Monoclonal antibodies have been particularly used in R/R ALL cases, with Inotuzumab Ozogamicin standing out. Finally, CAR-T cell therapy, also used in individuals with R/R ALL, presents a range of adverse events that need to be better understood and carefully monitored. Final considerations: These therapeutic products, derived from these technologies, are safe and effective in the treatment of ALL, as long as their effects are properly monitored, and any potential adverse events are promptly managed.
