Lee et al12 criteria were used to determine CRS toxicity grade, and National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (version 4.03)17 were used to determine NE toxicity grade.

Percentages based on patients who experienced a CRS and/or NE episode.

95% CIs estimated from probabilistic sensitivity analysis applied to base case median costs to impute 95% CIs for base case.
