Eligibility criteria
Inclusion criteria
-Children with Standard-Risk B-precursor ALL according to the American National Cancer Institute. -Leucocytosis < 50.000/mm3 -Absence of central nervous system lesion. -Absence of t(9; 22), of t(4; 11) or hypoploïd < 44 chromosomes -Absence of transcribed fusion BCR-ABL or MLL-AF4 -Absence of rearrangement of MLL gene detected by FISH or Southern blot in the event of ALL with zero or low expression of the CD10.
Exclusion criteria
- LAL of Burkitt (standard FAB L3) - Presence of one of the following criteria of gravity (only one criterion is sufficient): . Presence of central nervous system involvement . Presence of t(9;22), t(4;11) or a hypoploïdie < 44 chromosomes . Presence of transcribed fusion BCR-ABL or MLL-AF4. . LAL with absence of expression or weak expression of the CD10 and presence of a rearrangement of MLL gene detected by FISH or Southern blot. - Trisomy 21 - Corticothérapy for longer than 8 days before treatment - Children with a past-history of chronic disease not allowing to enter the protocol - Children who could not be followed

Purpose of study
To evaluate the benefit, in term of event free survival, of the administration of anthracyclines during the induction treatment of standard -risk acute lymphoblastic leukemia responders at day 21 (A1 group). Secondary objectives: -To evaluate the impact of anthracyclines on the incidence of high level of residual disease at the end of induction phase(A1 Group). -To evaluate the impact of increasing treatment in chemoresistant patients at d21 or d35-d42 (groups A2 and A3). -To compare the cardiotoxicity in 2 sub-groups of children treated or not with anthracyclines during the induction phase (A1 group). -To analyze treatment relared toxicity.
Summary of study design, objectives, and ongoing research findings
FRALLE 2000-A is undertaken in children with acute lymphoblastic type B leukemia of standard -risk The initial sensitivity to treatment is evaluated by the chemosensitivity at D21 and by the medullary residual disease at D35-D42. Three groups are defined according to the chemorésistance at D21. 1/ A1 group : good responders at D21 are randomized for the administration of anthracyclines. In the absence of high residual disease at D35-D42, they will remain in this group. If the residual disease is high they will be included in group A3. 2/A2 group, chemoresistant patients receive anthracyclines and consolidation identical to that of the A1 group. They are included either in the A1 group if they do not have a raised residual disease at J35-J42, or with the A3 group if residual disease is low at D35-D42. 3/A3 group: patients poor responders at DJ21 and patients of groups A1 or A2 with high residual disease at D35-D42. These patients receive anthracyclines then an intensified treatment. Rate of event free survival will be evaluated at the end of the trial.
