If the exact day of supportive therapy initiation or discontinuation was unknown due to administration outside of the institution, day of first or last documentation of use in the medical record was used as a surrogate. Data were censored at day 100, and so day 100 is given as last day of use if therapy was ongoing. Neutrophil recovery was defined as first day of ANC (absolute neutrophil count) > 500 cells/μL sustained on 2 consecutive checks without G-CSF use in the prior 7 days. Median and range of neutrophil recovery reflects data for the 41 patients whose ANC fell below 500 cells/μL after idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel) infusion and recovered prior to day 100 in the absence of death or progression. PD, progressive disease; pRBC, packed red blood cell.
