Fisher’s exact and Kruskal–Wallis tests were used to test for associations between elected treatment groups and categorical or continuous baseline characteristics, respectively. P values from global tests, including the four elected treatment groups, are represented by P1; P values from tests including two elected treatment groups (Beat AML sub-study versus SOC therapy) are represented by P2. All tests were two-sided and P values were not adjusted for multiple testing. CBF, core binding factor; TKD, tyrosine kinase domain; WT, wild type.
