Purpose
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known which regimen of combination chemotherapy plus steroid therapy is more effective for acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of different regimens of combination chemotherapy plus steroid therapy in treating children who have acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.

Hide Detailed DescriptionOBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified for prephase therapy according to center, disease (acute lymphoblastic leukemia [ALL] vs non-Hodgkin's lymphoma [NHL]), WBC for ALL patients (less than 10,000/mm^3 vs 10,000/mm^3 to less than 100,000/mm^3 vs greater than 100,000/mm^3), stage for NHL patients (I or II vs III or IV), and whether prephase already started (yes vs no). Patients are stratified for protocol II therapy according to center, risk group (very low risk [VLR] vs average risk 1 [AR1] vs average risk 2 [AR2]), and treatment arm at first randomization.
Prephase: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms
Patients in both arms also receive methotrexate (MTX) intrathecally (IT) on day 1.
Protocol IA (days 8-35):
Patients with VLR, AR1, or AR2 disease after protocol IA proceed to protocol IB, interval therapy, and then protocol II. Patients with VHR disease after protocol IA proceed to the VHR patient protocol.
Protocol IB (for VLR, AR1, or AR2 patients): Patients with precursor B-cell ALL must be in complete remission (CR) and patients with NHL must be in CR or good partial remission.
VLR, AR1, and AR2 patients are also randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
Protocol II (reinduction therapy IIA and reconsolidation therapy IIB):
VLR and AR patients are also randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
Maintenance therapy for VLR and AR patients (begins 14 days after completion of protocol II):
After course 6, AR1 and AR2 patients receive further maintenance therapy comprising oral MP once daily and oral MTX once a week.
VHR patient protocol (recommended treatment): Patients with VHR disease after protocol IA receive reinforced consolidation (protocol IB') and VANDA regimens.
After protocol IB' and VANDA, VHR patients who are eligible for stem cell transplantation (SCT) and have an HLA-compatible familial donor undergo transplantation. Patients who are ineligible for SCT receive interval therapy, followed by 2 sequences of blocks R1, R2, and R3 (2 courses of each block for a total of 6 courses), and then maintenance therapy for a total treatment duration of 2 years.
Blocks R1, R2, and R3 (this sequential regimen is repeated once):
Patients are followed every 3 months for 5 years and then annually thereafter.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 1,400-1,500 patients will be accrued for this study within 5.5 years.
