Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Primary end point(s): Metabolite levels of 6-thioguanine and 6-methylmercaptopurine;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At week 24 of the study;Main Objective: The objective of the trial is to investigate if addition of allopurinol during maintenance therapy of acute lymphoblastic leukemia can modify the metabolism of 6-mercaptopurine leading to a more favorable ratio of the mercaptopurin metabolites 6-thioguanine and 6-methylmercaptopurine;Secondary Objective: To investigate if an increased ratio of 6-thioguanine to 6-methylmercaptopurine leads to decreased toxicity (liver and metabolic)
Secondary Outcome Measures

<br> Secondary end point(s): Liver toxicity (laboratory measures, ultrasonography)<br> Incidence of hypoglycemia<br> SAE<br> ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At week 24
