Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Patients treated with CLET
Previously treated with CLET patients are included retrospectively, as the follow-up procedure is already stablished in our centre, and patients treated following standard care or through "drugs-in-special-situation" request in Spain prospectively. Patients are not treated to be included in the study, only the follow-up variables are taken into account.
No interventions assigned to this group
