What was measured

Anti-keyhole limpet hemocyanin antibody was measured immediately prior to and 4 weeks after the first administration of keyhole limpet hemocyanin. The keyhole limpet hemocyanin antibody ELISA assay used keyhole limpet hemocyanin as the plate coat and anti-human IgG-horseradish peroxidase for detection.

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.
