*

Fisher's exact test comparing the proportions of improved patients according to CR or PR vs SD or PD by NIH criteria. Patients unaffected by specific manifestations are not included. Some patient-reported data are missing. See supplemental Table 2 for definitions of clinically significant improvement.
