No. of patients (rounded percentage of patients) in each study arm.

Two patients stratified to short methotrexate + cyclosporine received cyclosporine only; one patient stratified to cyclosporine received short methotrexate + cyclosporine.

Early death: patients deceased without marrow function before day 30 posttransplant. Primary graft failure: patients with documented graft failure at day 30 posttransplant. Early relapse: patients with disease recurrence within 30 days posttransplant.
