  1. FluMel fludarabine/melphalan, FluTreo fludarabine/treosulfan, BuCy busulfan/cyclophosphamide.
  2. p values and hazard ratios (95% CI) were derived from Cox regression analysis (overall survival) and cause-specific Cox regression analysis (relapse and non-relapse mortality) after adjustment for patient and disease characteristics, n. a. not applicable because the required number of events for HR calculation as pre-specified by the statistical analysis plan (n = 50) was not attained.
