Treatment: Drugs: cyclophosphamide
Given IV

Treatment: Drugs: cytarabine
Deoxycytidine analogue which is metabolized to ARA-CTP, a substance which inhibits DNA polymerase.

Treatment: Drugs: daunorubicin hydrochloride
Given IV

Treatment: Drugs: dexamethasone
Dexamethasone is a synthetic fluorinated glucocorticoid devoid of mineralocorticoid effects.

Treatment: Drugs: leucovorin calcium
Synthetic d,l-5 CHO tetrahydrofolate, which is used to bypass the inhibition of dihydrofolate reductase by Methotrexate (MTX)

Treatment: Drugs: mercaptopurine
An analogue of the nucleic acid constituent adenine and the physiological purine base hypoxanthine

Treatment: Drugs: methotrexate
A folate analogue which inhibits the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase, haltin g DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis

Treatment: Drugs: pegaspargase
E-Coli asparaginase deaminates asparagine, thus, is lethal for cells which cannot synthesize asparagine.

Treatment: Drugs: thioguanine
Given orally

Treatment: Drugs: vincristine sulfate
Given IV
