PFS. (A) PFS of patients randomized to ibrutinib-rituximab (IR) arm of E1912 trial. (B) PFS of IR arm of E1912 trial by IGHV mutation status. (C) PFS of patients while on treatment; all patients on the IR arm of E1912 trial. Patients discontinuing ibrutinib for reason other than progression or death are censored at the time of off treatment. (D) PFS while on treatment for IR arm of E1912 trial by IGHV mutation status. Patients discontinuing ibrutinib for reason other than progression or death are censored at the time of off treatment.

PFS after ibrutinib discontinuation. All patients on the IR arm of E1912 trial who started IR treatment (patients who did not start IR were excluded). Patients who started alternative therapy censored at the time of starting alternative therapy. (A) PFS after ibrutinib discontinuation. (B) PFS after ibrutinib discontinuation by IGHV status. (C) PFS after ibrutinib discontinuation by Döhner classification. (D) PFS after ibrutinib discontinuation by duration of ibrutinib treatment before discontinuation.
