NOTE: Odds of ELISpot ≥ 33 and odds of RBD B cells ≥ 0.024 are reported. Sample size N reflects the number of observations, rather than the number of patients.

Abbreviations: LOT, lines of therapy; IgG, immunoglobulin G.

aAmong the 105 Other race in ELISpot data, 103 were White, 1 Asian, and 1 Native American. Among the 67 Other race in B cell data, 65 were White, 1 Asian, and 1 Native American.

b P < 0.05 on MVA for ELISpot.

c P < 0.05 on MVA for RBD B cells.
