To evaluate the efficacy and safety of rituximab in treating patients with refractory and/or relapsing thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP).
Totally three patients received rituximab as salvage therapy in our hospital. Rituximab was administered at a weekly dose of 375 mg/m(2) for 2 or 4 consecutive weeks. After clinical remission, patients were followed up every 3 months.
All three patients achieved complete remission. The median time to platelet count recovery was 7 days (4-12 days) after the first rituximab infusion. During the follow-up (median: 12 months; range: 9-18 months), no patients experienced relapse. No side effect was noted during treatment and follow-up period.
Therapy with rituximab is effective and well tolerated for patients with refractory or relapsing TTP.
评估利妥昔单抗治疗难治性和/或复发性血栓性血小板减少性紫癜(TTP)患者的疗效和安全性。
我院共有3例患者接受利妥昔单抗作为挽救治疗。利妥昔单抗以每周375 mg/m²的剂量连续给药2或4周。临床缓解后,每3个月对患者进行随访。
所有3例患者均实现完全缓解。首次输注利妥昔单抗后,血小板计数恢复的中位时间为7天(4 - 12天)。在随访期间(中位时间:12个月;范围:9 - 18个月),无患者复发。治疗及随访期间未观察到副作用。
利妥昔单抗治疗难治性或复发性TTP患者有效且耐受性良好。
