CRS was graded per Lee et al,19 and ICANS was graded per ASTCT consensus grading.17 

ASTCT, American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy; CRS, cytokine release syndrome; ICANS, immune effector cell–associated neurotoxicity syndrome.

Reported on the 100-day follow-up case-report form.

Defined as failure to resolve within the first 30 days after infusion, measured among patients who survived day 30 after infusion.
