- Composite Complete Remission Rate (CR + CRi) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 24 weeks ]The Composite Complete Remission Rate (CR + CRi) is defined as the proportion of participants who achieve complete remission (CR) plus participants who achieve complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi) as described by the modified International Working Group (IWG) criteria for Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML).
- Overall Response Rates (CR, CRi) [ Time Frame: Up to approximately 24 weeks ]Overall Response Rates to treatment is the proportion of participants who achieve complete remission or complete remission with incomplete hematologic recovery, based on guidelines adapted from the IWG for AML.
- Percent of Participants who Achieve Transfusion Independence [ Time Frame: Up to at least 56 days after initial administration of study drug ]Transfusion Independence: the rate of red blood cell (RBC) and platelet transfusion dependence (defined as having received ≥ 2 units of RBCs and/or platelets within 56 days prior to study) at baseline and assess transfusion independence, defined as at least 56 consecutive days without a RBC or platelet transfusion during the treatment period.
