Rituximab is a chimeric anti-CD20 antibody that results in depletion of B-cell lymphocytes. It is currently used in the treatment of a variety of autoimmune diseases, in addition to CD20-positive lymphomas. The use of rituximab in the treatment of the adult primary glomerular diseases has emerged recently, although not yet established as first-line therapy in international guidelines. In patien...
Experience with rituximab in patients with new ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) is still very limited, especially in patients with severe (organ- or life-threatening) AAV. Rituximab may be more effective in anti-PR3 AAV, but potentially less effective in some granulomatous manifestations of AAV. We do not know what the response is to rituximab on the tissue level. Rituximab induction needs to b...
INTRODUCTION Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is the sixth most common malignancy, and follicular lymphoma (FL) is the second most common form of NHL. FL is generally considered to be incurable, and is characterized by periods of remission followed by episodes of relapse, with median survival of 8-10 years. Maintenance treatment is aimed at improving quality of life and survival. AIMS To review t...
To longitudinally assess serum concentrations of rituximab, it was administered intravenously to 25 children with opsoclonus-myoclonus syndrome at 375 mg/m2 on each of 4 consecutive weeks with (Group I and II) or without (Group III) conventional immunotherapy. Serum rituximab levels, drawn before and after each infusion and at later intervals, were analyzed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay....
Rituximab is a human/murine chimeric anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody used to treat CD20-positive B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Although most of the adverse effects associated with rituximab are usually reversible and temporary infusion-related reactions, including fever, chills, flushing and skin reactions, there are several reports of pulmonary events after long-term administration of rit...
Chemotherapy of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is frequently hampered by drug resistance. The monoclonal antibody rituximab specifically targets the CD20 antigen and sensitizes B-cell lymphoma cells to standard anticancer drugs. In the present investigation, we analyzed, whether a combination of rituximab and artesunate may act in a complementary manner and eventually synergize in tumor cell killing. A...
BACKGROUND An open-label study indicated that selective depletion of B cells with the use of rituximab led to sustained clinical improvements for patients with rheumatoid arthritis. To confirm these observations, we conducted a randomized, double-blind, controlled study. METHODS We randomly assigned 161 patients who had active rheumatoid arthritis despite treatment with methotrexate to receiv...
Rituximab is an effective treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), which has been approved for the treatment of moderate to severe disease in patients with an inadequate response to anti-TNF therapies. Rituximab differs from other available biological agents for RA by way of its unique mode of action and unrivalled long dosing interval. The efficacy of rituximab subsides progressively over time ...
The incorporation of rituximab, a chimeric anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, into the therapeutic armamentarium for patients with follicular lymphoma (FL) has significantly improved treatment outcome for such patients. Despite the almost universal application of this therapy, however, its exact mechanism of action has not been completely defined. One proposed mechanism is that of a "vaccinal" effe...
Anti-CD20 therapy has had a truly dramatic impact on treatment and outcome of patients with follicular lymphoma. Unfortunately, the majority of responses to single-agent rituximab are incomplete, and all patients with follicular lymphoma will experience disease progression at some point following rituximab therapy. Rituximab has multiple mechanisms of inducing in vivo cytotoxicity, including an...
