Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patients must be eligible for and enrolled on AALL03B1 or the successor classification study
  • Patients must have newly diagnosed high-risk B-precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)
  • WBC criteria
  • Age 1.00-9.99 years: WBC \>= 50,000/uL

  • Prior steroid therapy: Any WBC
  • Patients with testicular leukemia: Any WBC
  • Patients shall have had no prior cytotoxic chemotherapy with the exception of steroids and intrathecal cytarabine
  • Intrathecal chemotherapy with cytarabine is allowed prior to registration for patient convenience; this is usually done at the time of the diagnostic bone marrow or venous line placement to avoid a second lumbar puncture; the CNS status must be determined based on a sample obtained prior to administration of any systemic or intrathecal chemotherapy, except for steroid pretreatment; systemic chemotherapy must begin within 72 hours of this intrathecal therapy
  • Patients receiving prior steroid therapy are eligible for study; the dose and duration of previous steroid therapy should be carefully documented
  • All patients and/or their parents or legal guardians must sign a written informed consent
  • All institutional, Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and National Cancer Institute (NCI) requirements for human studies must be met

  • Patients with Down syndrome (DS) are ineligible since excessive toxicities and death have been noted for those enrolled on AALL0232 receiving the prednisone/Capizzi methotrexate (PC) arm of treatment, which is the backbone regimen for the current study
