Two-year Results of an Open Pilot Study of a 2-treatment Course with Rituximab in Patients with Early Systemic Sclerosis with Diffuse Skin Involvement

Abstract: A 2-treatment course (months 0/6) with RTX appears to be well tolerated and may have potential efficacy for skin disease and stabilization of internal organ status in early dcSSc. Clinical Trials Registration NCT00379431.

“…Rituximab (RTX) has been reported as optional therapy in SSc 3,4,5 . Our group reported stabilization of internal organ involvement during a 2-year followup in an open pilot study of a 2-treatment course (months 0 and 6) of RTX in patients with early dcSSc 6,7 . In our pilot studies, modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS) decreased significantly after RTX course.…”

“…Nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) is a reliable technique to evaluate the microcirculation (capillaries) in SSc 10 . Subsequent to the former studies, our additional study described herein, using the same design as the already published studies, is the first (to our knowledge) to assess microangiopathic evolution after a 2-treatment course (months 0 and 6) with RTX in early dcSSc 6,7 . Six consecutive patients with "early" (see below) dcSSc received an infusion of 2 times 1000 mg RTX at months 0 and 6, together with 100 mg methylprednisolone.…”

“…Создается впечатление, что РТМ при ИВРЗ может быть использован не только при неэффективности проводимой терапии у пациентов с большой длительностью болезни, но и в дебюте заболе-вания при наличии высокой активности и факторов рис-ка неблагоприятного прогноза. Сходные данные об эффе-ктивности терапии РТМ в отношении кожного фиброза и функции легких при раннем ССД получены другими ав-торами [34][35][36][37][38].…”

Следует осо-бо подчеркнуть, что терапию РТМ применяли при рефра-ктерном к стандартной терапии (высокие дозы глюкокор-тикоидов -ГК и иммуносупрессивные препараты -ИСП) течении ИВРЗ или при наличии тяжелых осложнений, ча-сто возникающих на фоне приема этих препаратов.…”
