ASCT, autologous stem cell transplant; B, bendamustine; CRR, complete response rate; N/A, not applicable; ORR, overall response rate; R, rituximab; Rel/ref, relapsed/refractory.

Sample size refers to the number of patients who received polatuzumab, with the exception of POLARIX, where both arms are reported.

POLARIX did not report ORR by COO; thus, PFS is listed.
