*

Per Morel et al,30  patients were assigned 1 point for each of the following baseline characteristics: age, >65 y; hemoglobin ≤11.5 g/dL; platelet count ≤100 × 109/L; β2 microglobulin level >3 mg/L; and M paraprotein levels >7.0 g/dL. Patients with a score of 0 or 1 (excepting age) were assigned to the low-risk category, those >65 y or with a score of 2 were assigned to the intermediate-risk category, and those with a score ≥3 were assigned to the high-risk category. M-paraprotein levels were quantitated by serum protein electrophoresis.

Central laboratory nephelometric assessments; n = 4 for the TN subset.

Based on imaging studies, as assessment by independent review. Lymphadenopathy was defined as the presence of lymph nodes with a long axis of more than 1.5 cm. Splenomegaly was defined as a spleen depth (cranial to caudal) of more than 13 cm.
