As a general rule, this includes the inferior arm(s) of a randomized study, unless said regimens continue to be recommended by trustworthy sources such as the [http://www.nccn.org/professionals/physician_gls/f_guidelines.asp NCCN Guidelines]. Is there a regimen missing from this list? See the [[B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia|main B-ALL page]] for current regimens.

''Of major historical interest, being one of the first published cancer chemotherapy experiments in man that led to an active non-clinical-trial intervention (to be distinguished from the trial of diopterin and teropterin [http://science.sciencemag.org/content/106/2764/619.long published in Science in 1947]). This agent is no longer available but was used clinically for several decades.''
