We investigated the potential drug-drug interaction between imatinib and fludarabine, which may be concomitantly administered in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients receiving fludarabine-based conditioning for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Imatinib is an inhibitor of human equilibrative transporters (hENTs), which are responsible for the intracellular uptake of fludarabine.
