available therapeutical approaches (as chosen by expert clinicians) 16. Firenze – A.L. Zignego, M. Matucci
17. Monza – P. Pioltelli
Additional end points
• To determine the steroid-sparing effects of rituximab, if any
• To determine the duration of clinical and biologic efficacy of rituximab treatment in type II
MC, to better plan retreatment and/or maintenance regimens in future studies
• To determine the effects on the quality of life and disease
• To determine whether rituximab may be useful to rescue patients where best available
treatment has failed
• Pharmacoeconomic assessments of rituximab therapy vs. best available treatment
GROUP A: Best conventional treatment GROUP B: Rituximab (rescue from group A allowed)
1) corticosteroids (maximal initial doses 1 mg/kg/day of Rituximab 1000 mg IV on day +1 and +15
prednisone/eqivalents) with or without preceding 6- with or without concomitant corticosteroids.
methylprednisolone pulses (500 to 1000 mg/day for 3
consecutive days Only corticosteroids are allowed as concomitant treatment
2) azathioprine or cyclophosphamide 1- 2 mg/kg/day, with or - if already administered
without corticosteroids - if introduced concomitantly with rituximab treatment, only
3) Plasmapheresis with or without corticosteroids low doses (≤ 0.1 mg/kg/day) allowed.
Randomization: GROUP A: 30, GROUP B: 29 Rescue therapy” to rituximab: 22/30 (73.3%)
15. CMID’s open study
22 pts, mean age years 61.7 (range 36-78 years), with HCV infection in 21
cases, genotype 2a/2c (7 cases), 3 (2 cases) , 1b (10 cases)
– intolerance to standard therapy 6
– resistance to standard therapy 6
– severe BM lymphocyte infiltration 5
– front-line therapy 5
12 with severe renal involvement, 10 with MPGN, 1 with renal vasculitis
13 with multiple mononeuritis (extremely severe in 5)
9 large skin ulcers (necrotizing in 8)
Rituximab was administered intravenously according to the 4 plus 2
protocol (Roccatello, NDT 2004): 375 mg/m2 on days 1, 8, 15 and 22
with two more doses administered 1 and 2 months later
13 pts were given further infusions:
8 received a re-induction (2 doses in 2 weeks plus 1 monthly infusion for 2 months) after 12-51 months
5 were allocated in a maintenance protocol (1 infusion at 3 months interval)
3 out of 18 pts developed low levels of anti-Rituximab abs (14-22 AU/ml, normal<12)
