Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Diagnosis of B-ALL (FAB L3 ALL/Burkitt?s leukemia or lymphoma) and T-LL (T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma). 2. Down?s syndrome. 3. Pre-existing, uncontrolled pathology such as cardiac disease (congestive/ischemic, acute myocardial infarction within the past 3 months, untreatable arrythmias, NYHA classes III and IV), severe liver disease with serum bilirubin >3 mg/dL and/or ALT >3 x upper normal limit (unless attributable to ALL/LL), kidney function impairment with serum creatinine >2 mg/dL (unless attributable to ALL/LL), and severe neurological or psychiatric disorder that impairs the patient?s ability to understand and sign the informed consent, or to cope with the intended treatment plan. 4.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate comparatively toxicity and feasibility of intrathecal DepoCyte vs. triple intrathecal therapy, with a preliminary assessment of efficacy (randomized pilot study); to assess the outcome of patients treated with an updated lineage-targeted and MRD/risk-oriented induction/consolidation strategy.;Secondary Objective: CNS recurrence: comparative analysis of isolated and combined CNS recurrence following TIT vs DepoCyte prophylaxis in all patients and distinct risk subsets.;Primary end point(s): Feasibility: comparative analysis of feasibility of IT DepoCyte vs. TIT in conjunction with an early multidrug and multicycle consolidation regimen including lineage-targeted systemic high-dose methotrexate and cytarabine Toxicity: comparative analysis of neuromeningeal toxicity during/after IT injections with DepoCyte vs. TIT, according to Common Toxicity Criteria (CTC) clinical scale and an ad hoc CNS toxicity evaluation protocol.
