Measure
A (High-dose Methotrexate, Leucovorin, and Glucarpidase)
Drug: High-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) and leucovorin (LV) with a single bolus intravenous injection of 50 units/kg glucarpidase over 5 minutes. HDMTX followed by intravenous LV administered at doses recommended in the clinical treatment protocols. LV doses administered as recommended in the package insert for Leucovorin Calcium USP for patients with delayed early MTX elimination and/or evidence of acute renal injury, and should be based upon the pre-glucarpidase MTX concentration. LV doses are maintained for at least 48 hours after dosing with glucarpidase. After this it may be administered at doses recommended in the clinical treatment protocols and existing labeling for LV based on post-Voraxaze MTX concentrations. Patients required IV LV rescue therapy with either ≥15 mg or ≥10 mg/m2 every 6 hours. Other Names: Voraxaze, carboxypeptidase G2, high dose methotrexate, leucovorin
B (High-dose Methotrexate and Leucovorin Without Glucarpidase)
High-dose methotrexate (HDMTX) and leucovorin (LV) without glucarpidase HDMTX followed by intravenous LV should be administered at doses recommended in the clinical treatment protocols and as per standard of care. LV should be given every 6 hours at a dose of ≤25 mg/m2.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours and 3 hours post-LV administration

Population: 3 participants were excluded from the PK population (all from Arm A), hence why the total participants is 17, not 20.

Geometric mean (6S)-leucovorin area under the plasma concentration vs. time curve from time 0 to the 3-hour time point.
