Study Summary

This trial is testing different combinations of chemotherapy drugs to treat patients with newly diagnosed standard-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia or B-lineage lymphoblastic lymphoma.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for young patients with newly diagnosed standard-risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia or localized B-lineage lymphoblastic lymphoma. They must not have had previous cancer treatments, except certain steroids or intrathecal cytarabine. Patients need to agree to use effective contraception if applicable and meet all study requirements.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests different combinations of chemotherapy drugs on younger patients with specific types of leukemia or lymphoma. It aims to find the best mix and dosage that kills the most cancer cells while monitoring side effects through various stages of treatment.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Chemotherapy drugs like Dexamethasone, Mercaptopurine, and others may cause nausea, hair loss, fatigue, increased risk of infection due to low blood cell counts, mouth sores, and potential damage to organs such as the heart or liver.
