Study information
Scientific title
Acronym
UKALL XI (92)
Study hypothesis
To test if CNS disease eradication can be successfully achieved without cranial radiotherapy by using CNS directed chemotherapy, to determine whether the use of high-dose intravenous MTX as part of the CNS therapy will reduce the incidence of systematic relapse, to assess whether a third intensification block of chemotherapy effects disease free survival, to compare by psychometric testing the long term learning and neuropsychological effects of the different CNS treatments.
Please note that the target number of participants was added as of 18/07/2007.
