Interfant-06
Study hypothesis
The primary aim of the study is:
1. To assess the role of an early intensification of two acute myeloid leukaemia (AML)-induction blocks versus protocol Ib directly after induction, in a randomized way in medium-risk (MR) and high-risk (HR) patients
Secondary aims are:
1. To assess the role of an early intensification of two AML induction blocks versus protocol Ib directly after induction, in a randomized way in MR and HR patients, separately
2. To assess the overall outcome of the Interfant-06 protocol compared to the historical control series, especially the Interfant-99 (ISRCTN24251487)
3. To assess the outcome of low-risk (LR), MR and HR patients as compared to the historical control series in Interfant-99
4. To study which factors have independent prognostic value
5. To assess the role of stem cell transplantation (SCT) in HR patient
As of 24/02/2011 the anticipated end date for this trial has been extended from 01/01/2012 to 19/05/2013.

Eligibility
Participant inclusion criteria
1. Children aged 365 days or less with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) or biphenotypic leukemia according to European Group for the Immunological Classification of Leukemia (EGIL) criteria. Children with central nervous system (CNS) or testicular leukemia at diagnosis are eligible
2. Morphological verification of the diagnosis, confirmed with cytochemistry and immunophenotyping. In case a bone marrow aspiration results in a dry tap, a trephine biopsy is advised unless it is possible to confirm the diagnosis by peripheral blood examination.
3. Informed consent of the parents or other legally authorized guardian of the patient

2. The presence of the t(9;22) (q34;q11) or bcr-abl fusion in the leukemic cells (if this data is not known, the patient is eligible)
3. Age >365 days
