    Nelarabine, sold under the brand names Arranon and Atriance , is a medication used to treat T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) and T-cell lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-LBL).[2] It is used when other treatments are not effective.[2] It is given by gradual injection into a vein.[2]

    Common side effects include bone marrow suppression, sleepiness, headache, numbness, fever, swelling, and vomiting.[2] Other side effects may include confusion, seizures, tumor lysis syndrome, and peripheral neuropathy.[2] Use in pregnancy may harm the baby.[2] It is an antimetabolite which replaces guanine and interferes with the making of new DNA.[1]
