*

A given patient is counted once for a given toxicity at the highest grade within a treatment period.

One patient in the purged transplantation group died on day of enrolment, never received any treatment, and was therefore excluded from toxicity analysis.

Targeted toxic effects: selected organ or infectious toxic effects with mandatory reporting of all grades.

§

Non-targeted toxic effects: required reporting of all grade 3–5 toxic effects.

Data were not reported regarding toxicity for three patients in the purged transplantation group and one patient in the non-purged transplantation group.

There were no non-targeted toxic effects of grades 3–5 that were noted in more than 5% of patients.
