a CIRS ≤6 and CrCl ≥70 ml/min

b CIRS >6 and/or CrCl <70 ml/min

c IRRs were defined as any AE occurring during or within 24 h of obinutuzumab infusion and considered related to obinutuzumab; infection selection was via the MedDRA system order class ‘Infections and Infestations’; second malignancy selection was via the MedDRA system organ class ‘Neoplasms Benign, Malignant, and Unspecified’ starting 6 months after the first study drug intake; neutropenia and thrombocytopenia selection was via their MedDRA basket dataset subgroups; and tumor lysis syndrome was defined by its preferred term
