What was measured

Peripheral CD19+ B-cell repletion was defined as a CD19+ B-cell count that returned to the Baseline value or returned to ≥ the lower limit of normal, whichever was lower.

Analysis population: Extended safety follow-up population: All participants who were randomized, received any part of a rituximab infusion, and entered the extended safety follow-up period.

Groups in this outcome

Rituximab 2 x 0.5 g + MTX

Participants received 0.5 g rituximab administered by intravenous infusion on Days 1 and 15. After Week 24, participants received further courses of rituximab every 24 weeks for up to 5 years if they were not in clinical remission and safety criteria were met. Rituximab infusions were preceded with 100 mg intravenous methylprednisolone. Participants also received a stable dose of 10-25 mg/week of methotrexate and ≥ 5 mg/week folic acid for the duration of their participation in the study. All participants entered a 48-week safety follow-up (SFU) period following the treatment period.

Rituximab 2 x 1.0 g + MTX

Participants received 1.0 g rituximab administered by intravenous infusion on Days 1 and 15. After Week 24, participants received further courses of rituximab every 24 weeks for up to 5 years if they were not in clinical remission and safety criteria were met. Rituximab infusions were preceded with 100 mg intravenous methylprednisolone. Participants also received a stable dose of 10-25 mg/week of methotrexate and ≥ 5 mg/week folic acid for the duration of their participation in the study. All participants entered a 48-week safety follow-up (SFU) period following the treatment period.
