Elitek is a recombinant urate-oxidase enzyme, produced via genetically modified Saccharomyces cerevisiae, for intravenous use. It is formulated as a lyophilized powder requiring reconstitution.
Its primary mechanism of action is the catalytic oxidation of uric acid into the more soluble metabolite allantoin, facilitating its excretion. It is specifically indicated for the management of hyperuricemia in the context of anticipated tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) in patients receiving cytotoxic therapy.
