About this trial

This pilot trial studies the impact of genetic information on developing liver damage caused by asparaginase in participants with newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Testing saliva samples may help doctors find certain genetic markers that may predict whether participants will tolerate asparaginase, which is given as part of clinical care for acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Newly diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) - no prior treatment for ALL

Receiving asparaginase as part of the primary treatment regimen

Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent

For retrospective recruitment, those who have received asparaginase between 2012 and 2017; and are current patients of University of Southern California (USC)

Disqualifiers

Patients who are unable to give informed consent

Trial population

Newly diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) who are seen at USC facilities will be recruited.
