Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research study is to identify better ways to treat children and young adults with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL). At the same time, doctors hope to define methods to identify those patients at higher risk for certain side effects, as well as those who are at higher risk for relapse of their leukemia.


Clinical Trial Description

Outline of Therapy:

Combinations of chemotherapy drugs will be given orally, intravenously and intrathecally (directly into the cerebrospinal fluid by spinal tap) over a period of roughly two and a half years.

Therapy will be divided into five phases:

Induction (4 weeks): chemotherapy given to produce a clinical remission (defined by normal blood counts, with the absence of leukemia cells in the blood and fewer than 5% leukemia cells in the bone marrow).

Consolidation (11 weeks): chemotherapy given to consolidate the remission. Delayed Intensification (7 weeks) Intensive chemotherapy aimed at killing any resistant leukemia cells will be given only for patients at high risk of relapse.

Intensive Continuation (approximately 1 year): Eight week cycles of chemotherapy, given eight times.

Continuation (final year of therapy): Eight week cycles of largely oral chemotherapy, with one clinic visit for a lumbar puncture every eight weeks.

Irradiation: radiation will be given in the middle of intensive continuation to the head and spine of those patients who have leukemia cells found in the cerebrospinal fluid at the time of diagnosis.

Follow-up: After the conclusion of therapy, there will be periodic office visits, initially monthly, then gradually spaced out to annual visits. The purpose of these visits is to evaluate for late side-effects of therapy. ;
