      1. intermediate or high-risk category as per a Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) AND
      2. confirmed CD123 + expression status determined by local institutional standards AND
      3. limited to those with no available (or are ineligible) therapy with known clinical benefit.
    • Pediatric arms escalation part and Japan Cohort C only: Confirmed diagnosis of CD123+ BALL without extramedullary lesions that have no available (or are ineligible) therapy with known clinical benefit. Participants with non-CNS chloromatous disease are not allowed in the study.
