Lower Dose Rituximab Treatment for Refractory Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Objective：To investigate the efficacy and safety of lower dose rituximab in the treatment of patients with refractory idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura（ITP）.Methonds： Four patients with ITP admitted to our hospital were given intravenous rituximab.Their clinical data were analyzed retrospective.Results： A complete response（platelet count greater than 100×109/L） was observed in 1 case,a response（platelet count greater than 30 ×109/L or with a 2-fold or higher increase of the inclusion value without any signs of bleeding） in 2 cases,with an overall response rate of 75%.No infusion related or delayed toxicities attributable to rituximab were experienced by any of the patients.Conclusions： Lower dose rituximab is beneficial for patients with ITP.Lower dose rituximab seems to show similar activity to standard dose.Its side effects are predictable and manageable.
