AML, acute myeloid leukemia; ECOG PS, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status; ELN, European LeukemiaNet; LDAC, low-dose cytarabine; MDS, myelodysplastic syndromes; sCr, serum creatinine; SD, standard deviation

aFor AML, good/intermediate cytogenetic risk = favorable, Intermediate I and Intermediate II risk groups; poor cytogenetic risk = adverse risk group

bBaseline gene mutations were determined in 58/78 glasdegib/LDAC patients (de novo AML, n = 30; secondary AML, n = 28) and 25/38 LDAC alone patients (de novo AML, n = 11; secondary AML, n = 14)
