Multivariate modeling using Cox regression was constructed using demographic and clinical variables to determine the impact of variables on survival outcomes. Significant P values are shown in boldface.

BTK, Bruton tyrosine kinase; DE, double expressor; DH, double hit.

Linear.

Ordinal.

Axi-cel vs tisa-cel only was included in the MVA owing to small sample size of liso-cel.

§

Two the 34 patients who received RT as bridging received steroids concurrently with their radiation.
