Figure 2 From Low Dose Rituximab Protocol In Rheumatoid Arthritis Low dose rituximab dosing protocol. care: centre for arthritis and rheumatism excellence, kerala, india; rtx: rituximab. those patients who did not show any eular response at 6 weeks after the first infusion were treated with a second dose of 500 mg rtx (first cycle). the eular response was assessed 6 weeks after the second 500 mg dose in these. The team observed that low dose rtx (2 × 500 mg) was as effective (acr 20 response by week 24) and well tolerated as the conventional dose (2 × 1000 mg) when added to mtx therapy in patients with active ra, although the difference in efficacy showed no statistical superiority for the low dose regimen.

A standard low dosing schedule of rituximab (rtx; 2 × 500 mg or 1 × 1000 mg) is as effective for active rheumatoid arthritis (ra) as the registered dose (2 × 1000 mg). moreover, several small uncontrolled studies suggest that even lower dosed treatment with rtx also leads to good treatment response in patients with ra. 50 mg h 30 min by 50 mg h* 400 mg h. total rituxan infusion time: 4 hrs and 15 min*. * only if an infusion related reaction does not occur. initiate infusion at a rate of 50 mg h. in the absence of an infusion related reaction, increase infusion rate by 50 mg h increments every 30 min, to a maximum of 400 mg h. A long term safety report of rituximab in ra clinical trials described that among 3,194 rituximab treated ra patients followed for more than 9.5 years, 22.4% developed low igm, 3.5% had low igg levels, and 1.1% had low iga for ≥4 months.66 no increase in infection rates was observed in patients during or after development of low igm or igg.
