  Purpose

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more cancer cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well combination chemotherapy works in treating young patients with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Criteria

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL)

    • B-precursor or T-precursor ALL
    • No Burkitt type leukemia (FAB L3; SIg positive; t(8;14) or variant)
    • No known Ph+ ALL at time of diagnosis
  • Enrollment on CALGB-C10001 (or its successor trial) for CALGB patients with Philadelphia-positive ALL take priority over enrollment on this protocol

    • Patients enrolled on this study but are later found to meet the following criteria for Ph+ ALL eligibility criteria for protocol CALGB-C10001 (or its successor trial) are removed from this study and enrolled on CALGB-C10001 (or its successor study):

      • BCR-ABL fusion transcript determined by FISH or RT-PCR
      • t(9;22)(q34;q11) or variant determined by cytogenetics
  • All CALGB patients are required to participate in CALGB-8461
  • All SWOG patients are required to participate in SWOG-9007

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:

  • ECOG performance status 0-2
  • No Down syndrome

PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:

  • No prior therapy for acute leukemia except emergency therapy (i.e., corticosteroids or hydroxyurea) for blast cell crisis, superior vena cava syndrome, or renal failure due to leukemic infiltration of the kidneys
  • Single-dose intrathecal cytarabine is allowed prior to registration for patient convenience provided systemic chemotherapy begins within 72 hours of intrathecal therapy
  • Prior steroid therapy allowed
