Experiences with

Rituxan

My husband is on Venetoclax and Rituxan. He is supposed to get his COVID vaccine this Friday and today he is receiving Rituxan. I came across this article on the lack of effectiveness of the vaccine when receiving CD20 therapies. I wonder what others in the same situation doing? Thank you!

anyone have this combo to control CLL growth?

anyone tried this yet? how did it go?

Due to see consultant tomorrow to discuss RITUXAN as Lupus and Sjogrens symptoms getting worse . Any advice. Many thanks.

Per webinar Dr Thrower indicated because somewhat increased risk covid severity on B cell depleted (Ocrevus, rituxan, kisimpta), you should have your immune function assessed. He suggested the following labs: cd19/20, T cell subsets, lymphocytes, IgG and IgM. I wondered what others were doing ?

I did finish the 4 infusions of rituxan as well and my last treatment was September 29th. It’s now November 8th and still no increase from the Rituxan.

Anyone taking Rituxan or any other immunosuppressants during covid? I’ve been putting my infusion off, I’m nervous not knowing how to way risks.

There are general guidelines that apply to most, if not all, MS’ers and guidelines specific to those on B-cell depleting therapies like Rituxan and Ocrevus.

He said I needed a rituxan infusion, because my immune system is not responding as well as it should with the infusions Iam getting. I have many bladder infections, and he said it would help my lupus and sjogrens too. He wants me to have it as soon as possible, because my numbers were sky high.

He wants to give me an infusion of rituxan tomorrow and Iam concerned about side effects. Has anyone else had rituxan, and what did you experience?

I've posted before explaining all my AI conditions and the current treatment with CellCept, hydroxychloroquine, and Rituxan. As a side, I apparently developed a new AI condition too... now, I can't help but laugh after each visit :-) .

I’ve been talking with my medical team about the Covid vaccine and it’s efficacy when you are on one of the B cell depleating DMT’s like Ocrevus or Rituxan. One of the team shared with me the info from a NMSS email that goes out to Clinicians not patients.

This last year I have had 4 Allosure tests and underwent plasmapheresis and Rituxan treatments. The last Allosure shows 2.4 which is a pretty high rejection number.

Has anyone experienced vertigo while receiving Rituxan and Bendamustine? Having several bouts of it, never had it before taking Chemotherapy.... any help is appreciated, having trouble with it at every turn.

Unfortunately my father’s Venclexta + Rituxan treatment is not working anymore. The doctor is saying that Duvelisib is his only option now. Thank you.

Four Rituxan infusions this past month didn’t move my numbers much. Oncologist says we will forego more infusions and rely on Imbruvica.

Is anyone taking Rituxan for Dermatomyositis? Is it helping your condition?

I was stage 4, but with Rituxan have improved to 3A. Thoughts?
