About this trial
The purpose of this section is to learn how text message reminders might help with regularly taking chemotherapy medications for Adolescents and Adults with Acute Lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Age of 15-39 years-old at the time of initial ALL diagnosis
Diagnosed with ALL
Currently receiving treatment with pediatric-based regimen that includes maintenance with mercaptopurine and methotrexate (e.g., CALGB 10403). Study participation begins with the start of maintenance, so enrollment occurs prior to the start of maintenance.
Disqualifiers
Patient or caregiver who would receive text message reminders does not have a cell phone that receives text messages
Patient does not wish to participate
Text messages will be crafted in the patient's preferred language for medical communication, so English fluency is not an enrollment requirement.
