Two-sided Fisher's exact test.

Patients considered refractory to FCR, with or without other drugs; other represents patients refractory to a fludarabine-based regimen other than that containing FCR.

Patients considered refractory to FC, with or without other drugs; other represents patients refractory to a fludarabine-based regimen other than that containing FC.
