What was measured

The immune response to each of the 12 anti-pneumococcal antibody serotypes was measured in serum samples immediately prior to and 4 weeks after vaccine administration. The pneumococcal antibody assay was a fluoroimmunoassay that used a Luminex Multiplex platform. Purified capsular polysaccharides isolated from 12 serotypes of S. pneumonia were covalently attached to microbeads and used as a capturing reagent. Phycoerythrin conjugated anti-human IgG was used for detection. A positive immune response against a serotype was defined as a 2-fold increase or an increase of \> 1 μg/mL from pre-vaccination levels.

Analysis population: Immune response per-protocol population: Group A - All patients randomized to Group A who received any rituximab infusion and any vaccine and had pre-vaccination and 4-week post-vaccination blood samples. Group B - All patients randomized to Group B who received any vaccine and had pre-vaccination and 4-week post-vaccination blood samples.

Groups in this outcome

Rituximab + Methotrexate (Group A)

Patients received 2 intravenous infusions of rituximab 1000 mg, 14 days apart + methotrexate 10-25 mg/wk orally or subcutaneously during the Treatment Period.

Methotrexate (Group B)

Patients received methotrexate 10-25 mg/wk orally or subcutaneously during the Treatment Period.
