- Overall Survival (OS) Rate [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Percentage of patients who were alive at 1 year. The analysis was split between patients with having a FLT3 (FMS-like tyrosine kinase-3) ITD (internal tandem duplication) or TKD (tyrosine kinase domain) mutation. The FLT3 mutation testing at baseline was performed centrally for all patients.
- OS [ Time Frame: Time from registration to death (up to 10 years) ]OS was defined as the time from registration to death of any cause. Surviving patients were censored at the date of last follow-up. The median OS with 95% confidence interval (CI) was estimated using the Kaplan Meier method.
- Event-free Survival [ Time Frame: Time from registration to death or relapse (up to 10 years) ]Event-free survival (EFS) was defined as the time for registration to failure to achieve CR during induction, relapse or death. Participants without events were censored at date of last follow-up. The median EFS with 95% CI was estimated using the Kaplan Meier method.
