KMT2A-PTD accounted for 18.2% (55/303), whereas KMT2A rearrangements (KMT2Ar) were observed in 81.8% (248/303). Among KMT2Ar AML patients, the complete remission (CR) rate after a course of induction treatment was 65.3% (162/248), whereas the 2-year overall survival (OS) rate and cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR) were 52.6% (95% <i>CI</i>: 46.3% -59.7% ) and 55.4% (95% <i>CI</i>: 44.8% -61.6% ), respectively. Prognoses varied across partner gene subtypes; the KMT2A::AFDN subgroup (<i>n</i>=69) had the poorest 2-year CIR of 68.5% (95% <i>CI</i>: 55.4% -78.5% ), whereas the uncommon KMT2Ar subgroup (<i>n</i>=31) had a 2-year CIR rate of 43.2% (95% <i>CI</i>: 24.8% -60.3% ). The group with KMT2A::MLLT3 and EVI1 overexpression (<i>n</i>=18) exhibited a significantly higher 2-year CIR, at 66.7% (95% <i>CI</i>: 38.5% -84.2% ) versus 44.0% (95% <i>CI</i>: 30.1% -57.0% ) for those with KMT2A::MLLT3 who did not show EVI1 overexpression (<i>n</i>=53) (<i>P</i>=0.018). Among patients with KMT2A-PTD, the CR rate after a course of treatment was 60.0% (33/55) ; venetoclax-based therapy yielded a significantly higher CR rate compared with nontargeted therapy: 86.7% (26/30) <i>vs</i> 28.0% (7/25) (<i>P</i><0.001), with a 2-year OS rate of 68.7% (95% <i>CI</i>: 36.1% -87.1% ) versus 53.9% (95% <i>CI</i>: 32.2% -71.4% ) (<i>P</i>=0.035), and 2-year CIR rate of 34.2% (95% <i>CI</i>: 15.9% -53.5% ) versus 78.7% (95% <i>CI</i>: 54.2% -91.0% ) (<i>P</i>=0.002). Compared to low-intensity chemotherapy, intensive chemotherapy resulted in a significantly lower CR rate: 40.7% (11/27) versus 78.6% (22/28) (<i>P</i>=0.004), accompanied by a higher 2-year CIR[72.3% (95% <i>CI</i>: 47.6% -86.8% ) versus 41.7% (95% <i>CI</i>: 20.6% -61.6% ), <i>P</i>=0.017]. Among transplant patients, those undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in CR1 (<i>n</i>=156) had better outcomes than those transplanted in non-CR1 (<i>n</i>=62), with a 2-year OS rate of 74.1% (95% <i>CI</i>: 66.9% -82.0% ) versus 52.0% (95% <i>CI</i>: 40.6% -66.7% ) and 2-year CIR of 27.3% (95% <i>CI</i>: 20.0% -34.9% ) versus 91.9% (95% <i>CI</i>: 80.8% -96.7% ), respectively (both <i>P</i><0.001). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that achieving CR after one induction cycle (<i>HR</i>=0.54, <i>P</i><0.001; <i>HR</i>=0.67, <i>P</i>=0.010) and receiving allo-HSCT (<i>HR</i>=0.17, <i>P</i><0.001; <i>HR</i>=0.41, <i>P</i><0.001) were favorable prognostic factors for OS and CIR.
