What was measured

FACIT-F is a 13-item questionnaire. Patients scored each item on a 5-point scale: 0 (Not at all) to 4 (Very much). The larger the patient's response to the questions (with the exception of 2 negatively stated), the greater the patient's fatigue. For all questions, except for the 2 negatively stated ones, the code was reversed and a new score was calculated as (4 minus the patient's response). The sum of all responses resulted in the FACIT-Fatigue score for a total possible score of 0 (worse score) to 52 (better score). A higher score reflects an improvement in the patient's health status.

Analysis population: Participants from the Intent-to-treat population, that includes all randomized participants, with data available for analyses.

Groups in this outcome

Arm A: Rituximab Re-treatment

1000 mg rituximab intravenous initial treatment on day 1 and day 15 plus 10-25 mg/week methotrexate followed by re-treatment during weeks 24 -40 consisting of two additional doses of 1000 mg rituximab 14 days apart plus 10-25 mg/week methotrexate.

Arm B: Placebo Re-treatment

1000 mg rituximab initial treatment on day 1 and day 15 plus 10-25 mg/wk methotrexate followed by re-treatment during weeks 24 -40 consisting of two doses of placebo 14 days apart plus 10-25 mg/wk methotrexate.
