We designed a phase II single-arm two-stage study (EUDRACT n. 2008-000086-38) to evaluate the efficacy of a lower dosage of rituximab, 250mg/m(2) given twice, for refractory mixed cryoglobulinemia.

Rheumatoid arthritis: what is refractory disease and how to manage it?
Joaquim Polido-Pereira, Elsa Vieira-Sousa and João Eurico Fonseca
Abstract
We have experience exciting developments regarding the approval of new treatment options but few patients are reaching sustained remission and refractory patients continue to be a problem. Thus, it is critical to understand how clinicians can decrease the risk of refractoriness by close monitoring d... | PMID: 21570496
