Trials for unfit patients, children, APL, relapsed or refractory disease and with purely maintenance or conditioning questions were excluded.

CBF, core binding factor; CRi, complete hematologic remission with incomplete hematologic recovery; DA, daunorubicin plus cytarabine (ara-c); EFS, event-free survival; GO, gemtuzumab ozogamicin; LDAC, low-dose cytarabine; MRD, measurable residual disease; mut, mutation; OS, overall survival; PI, principal investigator.

*

sAML/tAML/HMA pretreatment not accounted for/mentioned in table. Secondary end points for all trials include response rates, MRD, tolerability, rate of allogeneic HCT, patient-reported outcomes, and survival end points. “7 + 3” stands for all variations of standard-dose cytarabine plus anthracycline/mitoxantrone and includes intensive consolidation for patients ineligible for allogeneic HCT. §ORR, overall response rate (CR+CRi+morphologic leukemia-free state MLFS).
