Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to identify differences in the specified biomarkers in responders vs nonresponders (biomarker ∼ clinical response P value). Association of each biomarker to tumor burden (biomarker ∼ BMPCs, %) was assessed using the Spearman correlation, and the correlation coefficient (Rs) and P value are reported. Biomarkers are flagged as correlated with tumor burden (Y) if Spearman P value <.05.

N, no; Y, yes.
