Data are n (%). Table shows all-grade adverse events in more than 5% of patients in the pacritinib group or grade 3 in more than 1% of patients in the pacritinib group. Additional grade 4 adverse events in the pacritinib group were neutropenia (n=4), platelet count reduction (n=3), hyperuricemia (n=2), hyperkalaemia (n=1), cardiac failure congestive (n=1), thrombocytosis (n=1), sepsis (n=1), delayed haemolytic transfusion reaction (n=1), neutrophil count reduction (n=1), cerebral haemorrhage (n=1), and acute respiratory distress syndrome (n=1). Additional grade 5 adverse events in the pacritinib group were disease progression (n=1), cardiorespiratory arrest (n=1), and multiorgan failure (n=1). Additional grade 4 adverse events in the BAT group were neutropenia (n=1), colon neoplasm (n=1), hypoglycaemia (n=1), sepsis (n=1), hyponatraemia (n=1), septic shock (n=1), acute respiratory distress syndrome (n=1). Additional grade 5 adverse events in the BAT group were disease progression (n=1) and sepsis (n=1). BAT=best available therapy.
