        expectancy >or= 3 months.

        Have renal and liver function as defined below within 14 days, inclusive, prior to study
        enrollment, unless the abnormality is considered attributable to leukemia:

        Total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 x the upper limit of normal (ULN), unless the subject has a known
        diagnosis of Gilbert's disease Aspartate transaminase (AST, Serum glutamic oxaloacetic
        transaminase [SGOT]) or alanine transaminase (ALT, Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase
        [SGPT]) ≤ 3 x ULN Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x ULN. Not have had major surgery within 4 weeks
        before the planned start of treatment.

        If female, are post-menopausal, surgically sterilized, or willing to use acceptable methods
        of birth control (eg, hormonal contraceptive, intra-uterine device, diaphragm with
        spermicide, condom with spermicide, or abstinence) from the screening visit through 30 days
        after the last dose of any protocol defined chemotherapeutic agents.

        If male and sexually active with a partner of child-bearing potential, agree to use an

        Exclusion Criteria:

        Has had prior systemic chemotherapy (for ALL or other malignancy). Has had prior
        vincristine for any reason. Is planning to undergo stem cell transplantation (SCT) as any
        part of first-line therapy for ALL.

        Has Burkitt's lymphoma/leukemia. Has Philadelphia chromosome-positive (Ph+) ALL and/or
        BCR/ABL rearrangements documented by fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH),
        cytogenetics, or polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

        Has active central nervous system (CNS) disease. Has ongoing neuropathy of any etiology >
        Grade 1. Has a history of persistent active neurologic disorders including demyelinating
        form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth syndrome, acquired demyelinating disorders, and other
        demyelinating conditions.

        Prior hydroxyurea (Hydrea®) for the management of any condition other than leukocytosis or
        prior hydroxyurea of >7 days duration for the management of leukocytosis (hydroxyurea for
        the management of leukocytosis must be planned to be tapered off before or on Day 5 of
        Induction).

        Has received prior steroids within 7 days before beginning protocol-specified Induction
        therapy for reasons other than leukocytosis (steroids for the management of leukocytosis
        are allowed but must be planned to be tapered off before or on Day 5 of Induction).
