Comparisons were made between participants with KICS with or without KS and those with other KAD at the time of active disease (PEL with or without KS from the KICS protocol and the comparator groups of KS alone and MCD + KS).

IQR, interquartile range; NA, not applicable.

Includes 1 participant with KICS who was HIV-negative but diagnosed with CARD11 mutation at the time of demise.

All concurrent KS is T1 stage.

In all cases, KICS, MCD, or PEL arose in patients with pre-existing KS.

§

Includes 4 participants treated for PEL and KS with multiagent chemotherapy targeting both KS and PEL.
