‡Due to cerebral hemorrhage possibly related to tisagenlecleucel treatment in the setting of coagulopathy on day 15, and embolic infectious stroke (mucormycosis) on day 25.

§Both were due to infections possibly related to tisagenlecleucel treatment: systemic candidiasis associated with prolonged pancytopenia on day 62, and HHV-6-positive encephalitis associated with a history of prolonged neutropenia and lymphopenia on day 53.

¶Due to pneumonia on day 506, veno-occlusive disease following HSCT on day 359, other complications from HSCT on day 461, acute respiratory failure on day 125, and unknown reason on day 464.
