P-values are comparing CR rates vs. any response less than CR.

2

Includes 2 patients with concomitant del13q.

3

Includes 10 patients with concomitant del13q and excludes the one patient with concomitant del17p.

ORR, overall response rate; CR, complete remission; WBC, white blood cells; IGHV, immunoglobulin variable heavy chain; FISH, fluorescent in situ hybridization
