Kern et al22  Prospective, multicenter (AMLCG 1992 trial) Ages >16, all AML subtypes (excluding secondary AML) TAC (includes 7+3+thioguanine) 47% (213/449) had <5% blasts 5% 
Bertoli et al23  Prospective, multicenter (LAM-2001 trial) Ages 17-61, all AML subtypes 7+3 (Ida or dauno) 68.6% (545/795) had <5% blasts 9.3% 
Röllig et al24  Prospective, multicenter (SAL Dauno-Double trial) Ages 18-65, all AML subtypes 7+3 45% (389/864) had <5% blasts Not reported 
Ofran et al25  Prospective, multicenter Ages 20-81, all AML subtypes 7+3 (14% with addition of clofarabine) 61.2% (60/98) had <10% blasts + hypocellularity Not reported 
Current study Retrospective, single center AML with IDH2-R140 mutation Table 1 (majority 7+3) 58% (15/26) had ≤5% blasts 5%
