The patients sampled at diagnosis were treated with rituximab (R) and bendamustine (n = 33), the Nordic MCL 2 protocol with induction cytarabine-based chemotherapy and consolidation with high-dose chemotherapy with an autologous stem cell transplantation (n = 19), ibrutinib (n = 7), R-CHOP (R-cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone) (n = 3), rituximab only (n = 4), watch and wait (n = 1), or R-cytarabine (n = 1). For 13 patients the treatment was unknown. Patients from the clinical trial cohort were treated with rituximab, ibrutinib and lenalidomide within the trial. The 6 patients with MCL who relapsed from the Uppsala cohort were previously treated with in median 1 prior treatment (range 1-3), and after inclusion in this study they received bendamustine (n = 2), ibrutinib (n = 1), venetoclax (n = 1), Nordic MCL 2 protocol (n = 1), and cyclophosphamide (n = 1). Three of the patients received ibrutinib and 1 received venetoclax in later courses.

Univariable Cox PHs for all patients, showing change in OS rate by clinical or biological characteristic compared with its reference value, have been presented.

Boldface indicates statistically significant values.
