This study is ongoing, but not recruiting participants.
First Received: May 6, 2001   Last Updated: October 15, 2009   History of Changes
Sponsor: Dutch Childhood Oncology Group
Information provided by: National Cancer Institute (NCI)
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT00015873
  Purpose

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 combination chemotherapy regimen is most effective for treating infants with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of different combination chemotherapy regimens in treating infants who have newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
