Shown are toxicities which were possibly, probably, or definitely related to adoptive T-cell transfers either early (0-48 hours) after transfer or late (> 48 hours) after transfer. Severity grades of I, II and III are shown; no grade IV or V toxicities were observed. Other toxicities (not listed), such as hypertension, hypoxia/pulmonary, rash, and diarrhea (0-48 hours); cytopenias, neuropathy, hepatic(elevated aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase), eosinophilia, renal/edema, mucositis, and mental status changes (> 48 hours) occurred in individual patients in both groups with no significant differences between the 2 groups.

GVHD indicates graft-versus-host disease.

*

Significant differences between total number of events for arms A and B for each type of toxicity (NS indicates P > .05).
