Rituximab Clinical Trial
Official title:
Efficacy and Safety of Low-dose Rituximab in the Treatment of Refractory Myasthenia Gravis
This study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of low-dose rituximab in patients with refractory myasthenia gravis. The traditional treatment of MG is immunosuppressive therapy, usually beginning with corticosteroids. However, up to 70% of treated patients show an incomplete response, including 10 - 30% who are unresponsive. Corticosteroids and other immunosuppressive therapies presented also many side effects. The investigators propose to evaluate in a pilot, open, prospective, single central study, the interest of rituximab (RTX) in the treatment of patients with refractory MG. Fifty patients with refractory MG will be included in the study and divided into two stages: 14 patients in the first stage were followed up after using RTX according to the study protocol. The study will move into the second stage on if the number of effective cases is greater than 3, otherwise, the study will be discontinued (based on Simon's Optimal Two-stage Design). The remaining 36 patients were enrolled in the second stage. In the first and second stages, the treatment plan and follow-up plan were consistent. The therapeutical schema is rituximab 100-200 mg/week for a total of 2-4 times, followed by adequate organ function, laboratory parameters and assessment of MG after each injection and end of follow up for 24 weeks.
