  • Calaspargase Pegol is a chemotherapy medication that is approved to treat patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
  • Cytarabine is an antineoplastic chemotherapy agent that is FDA approved to treat several different kinds of leukemia.
  • Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid that prevents the release of substances in the body that cause inflammation, and is given in conjunction with some cancer treatments.
  • Dexrazoxane Hydrochloride is a cardioprotective agent that is given alongside some chemotherapies to help protect from side effects.
