- Vulnerable Population
- Vulnerable population selected: the trial enrols children and young adults. Informed consent must be provided by parents/legal representative and by the patient where applicable, with age-appropriate assent required prior to any study-specific screening procedures according to local, regional or national law. Subject information and informed consent forms are provided in age-specific versions (documents show ICFs for parents/guardians and for specific age groups such as 6-11, 12-16/12-17, and 16+), with versions available in Dutch, German and Spanish as indicated in the document list.
Inclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria
- {"criterion_text":"- Have a known immediate or delayed hypersensitivity reaction or idiosyncrasy to the study drugs, or drugs chemically related to study treatment or excipients that contraindicate their participation, including fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and tisagenlecleucel.\n- Patients with tisagenlecleucel that is deemed out of specification (OOS) will be excluded from this protocol\n- Clinically significant active and uncontrolled infection confirmed by clinical evidence, imaging, or positive laboratory tests (e.g., blood cultures, PCR for DNA/RNA etc.)\n- Patient/parent/guardian unable to give informed consent or unable to comply with the treatment protocol.\n- Pregnant or lactating women\n- Other uncontrolled, symptomatic, intercurrent illness including but not limited to infection, psychiatric illness, or social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements or in the opinion of the PI would pose an unacceptable risk to the subject."}
