1 Data available for 75 patients; 2 Data available for 39 patients; 3 Data available for 34 patients; 4 Data on HI was not assessed in this subgroup of patients, as this response form is considered irrelevant for AML-patients treated with ICT; 5 Evaluated in the subset of patients who were transfusion dependent at the start of HMA therapy; 6 Data available for 51 patients; 7 The longest time (822 days to fist response and 1150 days to best response) is a single patient. Other late responders are all ~200 days (6.6 months); and 8 Data available for 52 patients; and ND: not detected.
