We also cover the latest research on idelalisib and
rituximab

ITP since May this year. Currently on Revolade
I have tried
Rituximab
once a week for 4 weeks but it did not work. I had to have a second IVIG to get my count up as it dropped down under 7. My doctors started pushing for a splenectomy but I told them I wasn't interested at this stage, however I would like to try Revolade.

Newcastle University given £780,000 to find Graves' disease cure
'Dr Timothy Cheetham, from Newcastle University’s Institute of Genetic Medicine, is leading a trial to see if one dose of
rituximab
, a drug used to treat arthritis and leukaemia, could be given in conjunction with the standard treatment to see if it improves the chances of a cure.'

MRD negative
After 6 rounds of FCR (2 rounds of 5 x days F&C, and 4 rounds with just 3 days of taking the tablets) we got the results of my husband's bone marrow biopsy yesterday. It was the best possible news - he is MRD negative ( minimal residual disease) ie complete remission. It was tough, but obviously worth

transport and feeling overwhelmed
After nearly two months of nothing much I've now got an appointment with anesthetist for knee op, and two
rituximab
infusions + the cardiology one for the knee op too. So I've got GP coming here to take bloods together with hospital transport for the various appointments.

Update on Rituximab relapse/flare due to delayed infusions, and oral steroids and tapering.
I never thought I would end up on all these extra potent meds and feeling worse and more joint damage once on
Rituximab
. All the good work ~I did and effort to get fitter and stronger last year and commence
Rituximab
has been erased. Apologies if I sound down and disappointed.

Explainer: what are biologics and biosimilars?
With about half of the biologics on the market about to have their patents expire, there's a developing market for biosimilars, [u]for example
Rituximab
in the case of CLL treatment[/u].

But you look so well
Before I went on the cruise I had a ulcer in my left eye because of dry eyes due to Sjogren syndrome and I was also waiting to have
Rituximab
when I return from the cruise (which I have had now). I have damaged lungs (Pulmonary Fibrosis) caused by the lupus or MCTD.

Treatment Needed?
Hi All, My last CBC report (03 days back) was very depressing. My WBC has raised to almost 2 hundred thousand (200,000). RBC still just above 4 and HG just above 12. ALC 98% (198). But still no significant weight loss. night sweat, lymph nodes are there. One of my oncologist is of the view that now should

Do immunosuppressants and sushi mix?
However when I came home my tummy was doing stunts and show and I was up all night I’m not sure if Imagined this having this conversation when I started taking
rituximab
infusion but I think I'm meant to stay away from sushi (or perhaps I am thinking about a tv show referring to pregnant women)

Trouble swallowing
My rheumatologist has treated me with an immunosuppressant infusion called mabthera (drastic substance called
rituximab
) this July and my skin has softened somewhat. On the other hand, I have trouble swallowing and keeping good down. The worst is a choking feeling.

Lupus and the sweats
I do have lupus nephritis and recently had
rituximab
treatment. Unfortunately I had lots of pain during my second infusion. I got upset and the treatment was stopped. I was sent home with no guidance on my next steps in treatment.
