What was measured

A low immunoglobulin concentration was defined as a concentration below the lower level of normal.

Analysis population: Safety follow-up population: All participants who were randomized and received any part of a rituximab infusion. Number of participants analyzed = participants with available data. "N" indicates the number of participants with non-missing data at each time point.

Groups in this outcome

Rituximab + MTX

Participants received 0.5 g or 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.
