Brief summary

This is an open-label, multi-center study with 2 arms. The primary objective is to assess the response to treatment with rasburicase in 2 populations of adult and pediatric patients with lymphoma/leukemia/solid tumor malignancies, those previously treated with a uricolytic agent, and those not previously treated with a uricolytic agent at their first relapse or refractory disease.

Detailed description

This is a multi-center, 2 arm, open-label study; * Arm A: Patients previously treated with a uricolytic agent; * Arm B: Patients not previously treated with a uricolytic agent. Patients receive rasburicase for 5 days and begin chemotherapy 4-24 hours after the first dose of rasburicase. Patients are followed at 14 and 35 days, at 3 and 6 months and every 6 months thereafter.

Inclusion criteria

1. Meets one of the following risk criteria for tumor lysis syndrome (TLS): A patient is at high risk for TLS if he/she presents with: * Hyperuricemia of malignancy (plasma uric acid \> 7.5 mg/dL); * A diagnosis of a very aggressive lymphoma/leukemia based on the Revised European-American Lymphoma (REAL) classification of lymphoma/leukemia; * Acute myeloid leukemia (AML); * Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) in blast crisis; or * High grade myelodysplastic syndrome (refractory anemia with excess blast, refractory anemia with excess blast in transformation, or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia) only if they have \> 10% bone marrow blast and are given aggressive treatment similar to AML A patient is at potential risk for TLS if he/she presents with: * A diagnosis of an aggressive lymphoma/leukemia based on the REAL classification of lymphoma/leukemia plus 1 or more of the following criteria: * Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) \> 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN)(IU/L) * Stage III-IV disease * Stage I-II disease with 1 lymph node/tumor \> 5 cm in diameter 2. Patients previously treated with a uricolytic agent or not at their first relapse or refractory disease 3. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-3. ECOG equivalent derived from Karnofsky performance scale 100-30 or Lansky performance score 100-30 (patients \< or = 16 years of age) may also be used. 4. Life expectancy \>3 months 5. Negative pregnancy test (females of child bearing potential) and use of effective contraceptive method (both males and females). A pregnancy test may be performed on serum or urine human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). 6. Signed written informed consent
