Rituximab

Rituximab is a monoclonal anticluster of differentiate (CD)20 antibodies indicated for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory, low-grade or follicular, CD20-positive (CD20+), B-cell non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL) as a single agent. Also, it is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with previously untreated follicular, CD20+, B-cell NHL in combination with first-line chemotherapy and, in patients achieving a complete or partial response to a rituximab product in combination with chemotherapy, as single-agent maintenance therapy. Additionally, rituximab is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with nonprogressing (including stable disease), low-grade, CD20+, B-cell NHL as a single agent after first-line cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone (CVP) chemotherapy, and previously untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), CD20+ NHL in combination with cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone (CHOP) or other anthracycline based chemotherapy regimens. Rituximab, in combination with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (FC), is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with previously untreated and previously treated CD20+ chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). In combination with methotrexate, rituximab is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with moderately active to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have had an inadequate response to one or more tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antagonist therapies. Additionally, rituximab, in combination with glucocorticoids, is indicated for the treatment of adult and pediatric patients 2 years of age and older with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) (Wegener’s granulomatosis) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA).
