  • Karnofsky index > 60%
  • Availability of an HLA-identical matched related donor (MRD) or HLA-identical matched unrelated donor (MUD)

  • Mild renal impairment: No clinically significant differences in PK profile; unknown in moderate or severe renal impairment
  • Mild hepatic impairment: No clinically significant differences in PK profile; unknown in moderate or severe hepatic impairment

Place in Therapy / Regimen Classification
