Abstract

Busulfan (Bu) is one of the conditioning regimen components for pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Bu therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is essential for a successful treatment outcome and toxicity evasion. Dried blood spot (DBS) sampling is a rapid and simple method for Bu TDM, compared with conventional plasma sampling. This study evaluated the feasibility of using the DBS method for Bu TDM. The hematocrit (Hct) and conditioning day were also examined for their impact on the DBS method's performance.
