Abbreviation: MRD, minimal residual disease; No, number of patients; EFS, event-free survival; CCR, cumulative risk of any relapse; CI, confidence interval; ETP, early T-cell precursor ALL.

*

Among patients TCF3-PBX1 ALL, one with day-42 MRD<0.01% relapsed at 5.7 years, and two with positive MRD died of transplant-related toxicities at 0.6 and 2.4 years, respectively.

**

Of the 16 PAX5alt patients with day-42 MRD<0.01%, 4 relapsed (two hematological and two CNS relapses).

Of the 9 BCR-ABL1-like patients with day-42 MRD<0.01%, one developed CNS relapse.

§

Of the 7 ETV6-RUNX1-like patients with day 42-MRD<0.01%, one had hematological relapse, and another developed myelodysplastic syndrome.

Of the three patients with MEF2D-rearranged ALL and day-42 MRD<0.01%, one 12-year old with standard-risk disease died and relapsed at 2.9 years, and the other two patients were alive in remission at 3.6 and 4.0 years, respectively; data shown were 3-year results.
