IL-6, interleukin-6.

*

Between leukapheresis and CAR T-cell infusion.

Correlated strongly with LDH (P < .01) and platelet count (P = .02); therefore, it was not included in the multivariable model.

Defined as having 1 or more of the following: t(9;22) Ph+BCR-ABL t(v;11) MLL rearrangement, low hypodiploidy, near triploidy, iAMP21, or complex karyotype with ≥5 abnormalities.

§

Correlated strongly with platelet count; therefore, it was not included in the multivariable model.
