About this trial
In this study investigators will determine the feasibility of a future trial comparing chemotherapy-induced nausea control in children with ALL receiving oral 6-mercaptopurine who do and do not receive problem-solving skill training. This is a novel approach to controlling an important and common treatment-related symptom.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Percent of eligible patients who consent/assent to participate and completion of study procedures by 20 patients within 24 months
A future trial will be feasible if * 50% of patients deemed to be eligible to participate in Phase 1 consent/assent to participate * the recruitment into Phase 2 of 20 evaluable patients across all participating centers within 24 months of study activation of whom 80% return a completed CINV diary for at least 5 days of each 7-day data collection period. A completed CINV diary contains at least one PeNAT score and a record of the time of each vomiting episode or noting the presence/absence of vomiting daily. Evaluable patients are defined as those who have completed at least one cycle of PSST.
Secondary outcomes
CIN and CIV incidence
Proportion of children who report CIN and chemotherapy-induced vomiting (CIV) in Phase 1 and Phase 2
