---|---|
Experimental: Antitumor drugs
Mercaptopurine administered at standard dose for children with hematological neoplasms.
|
Drug: Mercaptopurine
Dose of mercaptopurine was adjusted to maintain a target white blood cells (WBC) between 2.0-3.0 × 109/L.
Other Name: Purinethol |
- Red blood cells (RBC) concentration of 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) [ Time Frame: at second day after oral administration ]To detect of RBC 6-MP metabolite concentrations and evaluate the association of metabolite concentrations and side effects
- Genetic polymorphisms in Chinese patients with ALL [ Time Frame: at second day after oral administration ]To detect the frequencies of genetic polymorphisms of Chinese patients receiving 6-MP for treatment of ALL
