AlloSCT, allogeneic stem cell transplantation; BTKi, Bruton’s tyrosine kinase inhibitor; chemo, chemotherapy; CPI, immune checkpoint inhibitors; IMiDs, immunomodulatory drugs; RT, radiotherapy.

Four patients with HGBL and 35 patients with DLBCL who relapsed following CAR T-cell therapy were excluded from the analysis due to incomplete data on disease characteristics at relapse, precluding their inclusion in multivariate models.

All values were calculated on the population of patients who received a treatment.
