简要总结

The purpose of this study is to determine whether Rituximab is safe and effective as a maintenance strategy in individuals with stabilized systemic sclerosis in adults.

详细描述

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune connective tissue-disease. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a common manifestation and a leading cause of death in SSc.

Rituximab (RTX) is commonly used in SSc-ILD induction treatment and recent trials have now fully demonstrated its safety and efficacy as an induction treatment. The DESIRES trial reported that RTX-induction was associated with a 24-week stabilization of FVC. As evaluated by the FVC at 24 weeks from baseline, 25 patients with SSc-ILD treated with RTX were significantly improved compared with 23 patients treated with placebo (0.09% vs -2.87%; [95%CI 0.08-5.84]; p < 0.05). Recently, the RECITAL trial showed the absence of difference between induction treatment with cyclophosphamide (CYC) and RTX in ILD including SSc-ILD. Indeed, both RTX and CYC resulted in an improvement in FVC (97 ± 234mL and 99 ± 329mL respectively) at 24 weeks, without significant statistical difference in 101 subjects. Furthermore, the EVER-ILD study, also very recently presented, reported a beneficial of RTX in addition to mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) over RTX in CTD-ILD. Altogether with previous European database studies which analyzed the very common usage of RTX as induction therapy in SSc, these studies have confirmed its efficient and safe role as an induction treatment in SSc-ILD.

Still, the impact of re-treatment with RTX in maintaining ILD-stabilization has never been studied and deserve to be studied.

The hypothesis that drives the MAINRITSyS is that RTX maintains ILD stabilization in SSc-ILD.
