Abbreviations: acMMAE, antibody‐conjugated monomethyl auristatin E; AUC, area under the concentration–time curve; C max, maximum concentration; CI, confidence interval; CV, coefficient of variation; GMR, geometric mean ratio; MMAE, monomethyl auristatin E; PopPK, population pharmacokinetics.

a

Individual exposures were computed for all patients following polatuzumab vedotin 1.8 mg/kg every 3 weeks for six cycles.

b

CV was computed as standard deviation of a log‐transformed variable.

c

GMR is defined as the mean ratio between Asian and non‐Asian patients, and between patients enrolled from Asia and those from outside of Asia.

d

Asian regions included China, Japan, (n = 54) South Korea (n = 17) and Taiwan (n = 9).

e

Non‐Asian regions included Western Europe (n = 159), North America (n = 117), Eastern Europe (n = 46), Pacific region (n = 21), and South/Central America (n = 6).
