Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - daunorubicin hydrochloride
Treatment: Drugs - dexamethasone
Treatment: Drugs - leucovorin calcium
Treatment: Drugs - mercaptopurine
Treatment: Drugs - methotrexate
Treatment: Drugs - pegaspargase
Treatment: Drugs - thioguanine
Treatment: Drugs - vincristine sulfate
Experimental: Arm I - Patients receive IT methotrexate on day 1 followed by methotrexate IV over 20 minutes followed by methotrexate continuously over 23.6 hrs on wks 7, 10, 13, 16,19, and 22. At 42 hrs after the beginning of the methotrexate infusion, patients receive oral leucovorin calcium every 6 hrs for a total of 3 doses. Patients also receive oral mercaptopurine daily beginning on wk 5 and continuing until the completion of consolidation therapy; oral dexamethasone twice daily on days 1-7 of wks 8 and 17; and vincristine sulfate IV on day 1 of wks 8, 9, 17, and 18.
Experimental: Arm II - Patients receive methotrexate IV over 4 hours on weeks 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, and 22. At 42 hours after the beginning of the methotrexate infusion, patients receive oral leucovorin calcium as in arm I. Patients also receive mercaptopurine, dexamethasone, vincristine sulfate, and IT methotrexate as in arm I.
Experimental: Arm III - Patients receive methotrexate IV as in arm I on weeks 7, 10, 13, 24, 27, and 30; leucovorin calcium as in arm I; pegaspargase IM on day 2, 3, OR 4 of wk 16; oral mercaptopurine daily on wks 5-13, and from wk 24 until the completion of consolidation therapy. Patients also receive IT methotrexate as in arm I on wks 7, 10, 13, 16, 20, 21, and 30; oral dexamethasone 2x daily on weeks 8, 16-18, and 28 for a total of 35 days; vincristine sulfate IV on day 1 of wks 8, 9, 16, 17, 18, 28, and 29; daunorubicin hydrochloride IV on day 1 of wks 16-18; cyclophosphamide IV over 30 minutes on day 1 of week 20; cytarabine IV or subcutaneously daily on days 2-5 of wks 20 and 21; and oral thioguanine daily on wks 20-21.
Experimental: Arm IV - Patients receive methotrexate IV as in arm II on weeks 7, 10, 13, 24, 27, and 30; leucovorin calcium as in arm I; and pegaspargase, mercaptopurine, IT methotrexate, dexamethasone, vincristine sulfate, daunorubicin hydrochloride, cyclophosphamide, cytarabine, and thioguanine as in arm III.

Treatment: Drugs: methotrexate
IV: 1 gm/m2 given as a 200 mg/m2 bolus over 20 min followed by 800 mg/m2 over 23.6 hours given during Weeks 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, and 22.

The overall plan is to accrue for 3.1 years or until all accrual goals have been met, whichever occurs first. Since power is determined by event-rates, lower or higher than expected event rates could lead to an amendment to alter the accrual goal. This consideration will be made independent of arm-specific outcome, in order to eliminate bias

Summary
Brief summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more cancer cells. It is not yet known which regimen of chemotherapy is more effective for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is comparing four regimens of combination chemotherapy to see how well they work in treating children with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
