Clinical Trial Summary

RITuximab AntiphosPholipid Syndrome (RITAPS) Study is designed to evaluate whether a medication called rituximab would reduce the signs and symptoms of antiphospholipid antibody (aPL) -related certain clinical problems.


Clinical Trial Description

Persistently antiphospholipid antibody (aPL)-positive patients, age 18 - 75 years of age, with anticoagulation-resistant manifestations of APS and fulfilling protocol defined study inclusion criteria will receive two doses of Rituximab, and will be followed for 6 and 12 months for clinical and safety outcomes, respectively.

Patients are eligible to take part in this study if their blood test is persistently positive for aPL and they have one or more of the aPL-related clinical problem(s) listed below: low platelet (blood cells involved in the prevention of bleeding) count; anemia (deficiency of red blood cells); heart valve disease; skin ulcers; kidney smal vessel blood clots; and/or memory problems. ;
