| 1 | Open label, single arm, single centre, non-randomised, prospective phase IV, pharmacological trial Post-marketing study of Fludarabine use in lymphodepletion prior to CAR-T therapy in real world setting to provide critical insights into Fludarabine exposure in routine clinical practice, in patients undergoing CAR-T therapy. This can reveal how different levels of exposure to the active metabolite might influence response to treatment and the occurrence of toxicity/morbidity.
