MRD1 correspond to MRD evaluation after induction and was performed by allele-specific oligonucleotides polymerase chain reaction. T-cell receptor status and oncogenic were performed as described in supplemental methods. IDH1Mut and IDH2Mut were statistically compared to IDH1WT and IDH2WT patients, respectively

T-ALL: T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia; WBC, white blood count; CNS, central nervous system; ETP, early thymic precursor; High Risk classifier, NOTCH1/FBXW7-RAS/PTEN classifier as previously described [3, 4]; CR, complete remission; MRD, minimal residual disease; Allo-HSCT, allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation; CIR, cumulative incidence of relapse; OS, overall survival; HR: hazard ratio, SHR: specific hazard ratio, CI: confidence interval

1Statistics presented: Median (Minimum–Maximum)

2Statistical tests performed: Fisher's exact test; Wilcoxon rank-sum test
