It may enhance the immunosuppressive effects when combined with risankizumab
clofarabine and ciltacabtagene autoleucel increase the effect of each other by immunosuppression
By immunosuppressive effects, the effects of the other drug increases and results in risk of infection.
By immunosuppressive effects, the both the drugs action either decreases or results in risk of infection.
when melphalan is combined with ciltacabtagene autoleucel, the risk or severity of adverse effects can be increased
when both the drugs combine the effect of both drugs increases by immunosuppressive effects
when both the drugs are combined, the immunosuppressive effects of both the drugs increases and lead to an increased risk of infection

Pregnancy consideration: Insufficient data available
Lactation: Excretion of the drug in human breast milk is unknown
Pregnancy category:
Category A: well-controlled and Satisfactory studies show no risk to the fetus in the first or later trimester.
Category B: there was no evidence of risk to the fetus in animal studies, and there were not enough studies on pregnant women.
Category C: there was evidence of risk of adverse effects in animal reproduction studies, and no adequate evidence in human studies must take care of potential risks in pregnant women.
Category D: adequate data available with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite the potential risk, and used only in emergency cases for potential benefits.
Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh the risks over benefits. Hence these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women.
Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this category
