Time frame
At final analysis, overall median follow-up time for EFS was 51.9 months.

What was measured

EFS is calculated from the time of randomization until the date of relapse or M2 marrow after having achieved a CR, failure to achieve a CR at the end of treatment, second malignancy, or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. Participants who failed to achieve a CR following treatment with IP or who died before the disease assessment at the end of treatment were considered treatment failures and assigned an EFS duration of 1 day. Participants still alive and event-free were censored on their last disease assessment date. Participants were said to be in CR when they had the following: * M1 marrow * Peripheral blood without blasts * Absence of extramedullary leukemic involvement Months are calculated as days from randomization date to event/censor date, divided by 30.5.

Analysis population: FAS: randomized participants analyzed according to their randomized treatment assignment, regardless of the treatment received (final analysis population).

Groups in this outcome

HC3 Chemotherapy

One week of treatment with HC3 followed by 3 weeks of no treatment. The standard intensive consolidation chemotherapy course HC3 includes dexamethasone (10 mg/m\^2/day IV on Days 1-6), vincrisitne (1.5 mg/m\^2/day IV on Days 1 and 6), daunorubicin (30 mg/m\^2 IV over 24 hours on Day 5), methotrexate (1 g/m\^2 IV over 36 hours on Day 1), ifosfamide (800 mg/m\^2 IV for 1 hour on Days 2-4), and pegylated \[PEG\]-asparaginase (1000 U/m\^2 IV for 2 hours or IM on Day 6) or, if allergic, erwinia-asparaginase (20,000 units/m\^2 IV or IM every 48 hours for a total of 6 doses).

Blinatumomab

One 4-week cycle of blinatumomab 15 μg/m\^2/day as a continuous intravenous infusion (CIVI).
