Rituximab is a B cell depleting monoclonal antibody used to treat lymphoma and autoimmune disease. Hypogammaglobulinemia has occurred after rituximab for lymphoma and rheumatoid arthritis but data are scarce for other autoimmune indications. This study describes the incidence and severity of hypogammaglobulinemia in patients receiving rituximab for small vessel vasculitis and other multi-system autoimmune diseases. Predictors for and clinical outcomes of hypogammaglobulinemia were explored. We conducted a retrospective study in a tertiary referral specialist clinic. The severity of hypogammaglobulinemia was categorized by the nadir serum IgG concentration measured during clinical care. We identified 288 patients who received rituximab; 243 were eligible for inclusion with median follow up of 42 months. 26% were IgG hypogammaglobulinemic at the time that rituximab was initiated and 56% had IgG hypogammaglobulinemia during follow-up (5-6.9 g/L in 30%, 3-4.9 g/L in 22% and <3 g/L in 4%); IgM ≤0.3 g/L in 58%. The nadir IgG was non-sustained in 50% of cases with moderate/severe hypogammaglobulinemia. A weak association was noted between prior cyclophosphamide exposure and nadir IgG concentration, but not cumulative rituximab dose. IgG concentrations prior to and at the time of rituximab correlated with the nadir IgG post rituximab. IgG replacement was initiated because of recurrent infection in 12 (4.2%) patients and a lower IgG increased the odds ratio of receiving IgG replacement. Rituximab is associated with an increased risk of hypogammaglobulinemia but recovery of IgG level can occur. IgG monitoring may be useful for patients receiving rituximab.
利妥昔单抗是一种用于治疗淋巴瘤和自身免疫性疾病的 B 细胞耗竭单克隆抗体。在接受利妥昔单抗治疗淋巴瘤和类风湿性关节炎后,会发生低丙种球蛋白血症,但其他自身免疫性疾病的相关数据较少。本研究描述了接受利妥昔单抗治疗的小血管血管炎和其他多系统自身免疫性疾病患者发生低丙种球蛋白血症的发生率和严重程度。并探讨了低丙种球蛋白血症的预测因素和临床结局。我们在一家三级转诊专科诊所进行了回顾性研究。根据在临床护理过程中测量的血清 IgG 浓度的最低值,对低丙种球蛋白血症的严重程度进行了分类。我们共确定了 288 例接受利妥昔单抗治疗的患者;其中 243 例符合纳入标准,中位随访时间为 42 个月。26%的患者在开始利妥昔单抗治疗时存在 IgG 低丙种球蛋白血症,56%的患者在随访期间存在 IgG 低丙种球蛋白血症(5-6.9 g/L 占 30%,3-4.9 g/L 占 22%,<3 g/L 占 4%);58%的患者 IgM ≤0.3 g/L。50%的中重度低丙种球蛋白血症患者的 IgG 最低值不能持续。先前环磷酰胺暴露与 IgG 最低值之间存在弱相关性,但与累积利妥昔单抗剂量无关。利妥昔单抗治疗前和治疗时的 IgG 浓度与利妥昔单抗后 IgG 最低值相关。12 例(4.2%)患者因反复感染而开始接受 IgG 替代治疗,较低的 IgG 增加了接受 IgG 替代治疗的比值比。利妥昔单抗与发生低丙种球蛋白血症的风险增加相关,但 IgG 水平的恢复可能发生。对接受利妥昔单抗治疗的患者进行 IgG 监测可能是有用的。
