Summary
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine in a randomized manner whether the addition of levocarnitine prophylaxis to asparaginase-containing regimens will decrease the incidence of conjugated hyperbilirubinemia (> 3 mg/dL) during ALL induction therapy for adolescents and young adults (adolescents and young adults [AYAs], age 15-39 years).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To examine the impact of levocarnitine prophylaxis on differences in the incidence of grade >= 3 alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) elevations during ALL Induction.
II. To compare rates of minimal residual disease (MRD) positivity at end of Induction and describe MRD+ by end of consolidation (EOC) in those receiving ALL induction chemotherapy with and without levocarnitine.
