Bort n indicates that patients received an intravenous bolus of bortezomib (1.3 mg/m2) on days 1, 4, 8, and 11 for n 3-week cycles; MUD, matched unrelated donor; Thal, thalidomide; PNP, polyneuropathy; GVHD, graft-versus-host disease; NR, no response; MR, minor response; PR, partial response; VGPR, very good partial response; CR, complete response; PD, progressive disease; NA, not applicable; and No, no WHO toxicity > 1.

Response to salvage therapy was assessed according to the criteria of the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT).
