RA, “rheumatoid arthritis regimen” for rituximab infusions (ie, 2 fixed 1-g infusions 2 wk apart); RTX, rituximab; STD, “standard regimen” for rituximab infusions (ie, 4 weekly infusions of 375 mg/m2).

*

Patient was always in remission at the last follow-up.

Patient 7 was not evaluable because a new course of rituximab was associated with treatment with a thrombopoietin agonist.

Patient 8 was not evaluable because of being lost to follow-up immediately after rituximab infusions.
