  1. Safety analysis population (all participants treated with axi-cel). MedDRA, Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities; SAE, serious AE.
  2. aAEs and TEAEs were coded per MedDRA version 25.1 and graded per CTCAE version 5.0.
  3. bOverall CRS was graded per the revised grading system proposed in ref. 43.
  4. cBoth events were grade 5.
