aHepatotoxicity cut-offs were adapted from the Clinical Islet Transplantation study–Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events in trials of adult pancreatic islet transplantation (CIT-TCAE) Version 5.0 [13], which are modified standards of those set forth in the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) [14]
