- Event-free Survival (EFS) for Patients Without High Allelic Ratio FLT3/ITD+ Mutations [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to estimate 3-year EFS, defined as the time from study entry until induction failure, relapse, secondary malignancy, or death.
- EFS for Patients on Arm C, Cohort 1 [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]The Kaplan-Meier method will be used to estimate 3-year EFS, defined as the time from study entry until induction failure, relapse, secondary malignancy, or death.

- Relapse Rate for Patients Without High Allelic Ratio FLT3/ITD+ Mutations [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]Cumulative incidence estimates 3 year relapse rate defined as time from study entry to induction failure or relapse where deaths or secondary malignancies are competing events.
- Proportion of Patients Experiencing Grade 3 or Higher Non-hematologic Toxicities and Infections While on Protocol Therapy [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]The proportion of patients experiencing at least one grade 3 or higher non-hematologic toxicity and infection while on protocol therapy will be estimated along with the corresponding 95% confidence interval determined using a binomial exact method. Toxicity will be assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 4.0 (CTCAE v4.0).

- Total Scale Score From Parent-reported Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory Module [ Time Frame: Up to 14 days ]Results represent the total scale scores from the parent report of the PedsQL™ 4.0 Generic Core Scales for timepoint 1 (up to 14 days from start of therapy). Items are reverse-scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale as follows: 0=100, 1=75, 2=50, 3=25, 4=0. Therefore, a higher number is a better outcome. The total score is the sum of all the items divided by the number of items answered on all the scales. "Scores on a scale" is used for a unit of measure.
- Total Scale Score From Parent-reported Cancer Module [ Time Frame: Up to 14 days ]Results represent the total scale scores from the parent report of the PedsQL™ 3.0 Cancer Module for timepoint 1 (up to 14 days from start of therapy). Items are reverse-scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale as follows: 0=100, 1=75, 2=50, 3=25, 4=0. Therefore, a higher number is a better outcome. The total score is the sum of all the items divided by the number of items answered on all the scales. "Scores on a scale" is used for a unit of measure.
- Total Scale Score From Parent-reported Multidimensional Fatigue Scale Module [ Time Frame: Up to 14 days ]Results represent the total scale scores from the parent report of the PedsQL™ Multidimensional Fatigue Scale for timepoint 1 (up to 14 days from start of therapy). Items are reverse-scored and linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale as follows: 0=100, 1=75, 2=50, 3=25, 4=0. Therefore, a higher number is a better outcome. The total score is the sum of all the items divided by the number of items answered on all the scales. "Scores on a scale" is used for a unit of measure.

- Sorafenib Steady State Concentration [ Time Frame: Up to 30 days ]Median and range of sorafenib steady state concentration for Induction I.
- Change in Shortening Fraction [ Time Frame: Up to 4 weeks ]Mean percentage change in shortening fraction from baseline to the end of Induction I will be determined for eligible patients enrolled on Arms A, B and C.
- Change in Ejection Fraction [ Time Frame: Up to 4 weeks ]The mean percentage change in ejection fraction from baseline to the end of Induction I will be determined for eligible patients enrolled on Arms A, B and C.
- Serum Concentrations of GVHD Biomarker [ Time Frame: Up to day 28 after SCT ]The mean serum concentration of the day 28 GVHD biomarker will be estimated as well as the corresponding 95% confidence interval.
- Course Duration [ Time Frame: Up to 6 months ]Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize length of hospitalization time.
- Incidence of Treatment-related Mortality [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years ]Cumulative incidence estimates that account for competing events will be used to estimate treatment-related mortality.
- Length of Hospitalization [ Time Frame: Up to 6 months ]Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize length of hospitalization time.
- Remission Rate After 1 Course of Therapy [ Time Frame: 4 weeks ]The proportion of patients achieving remission after 1 course of therapy will be estimated along with a corresponding 95% confidence interval.
- Remission Rate After 2 Courses of Therapy [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ]The proportion of patients achieving remission after 2 courses of therapy will be estimated along with a corresponding 95% confidence interval.
