“…Five patient experienced improvement in BILAG, renal function, and proteinuria in Marks et al (2005)'s study. In Podolskaya et al (2008)'s study, 11 (58.8%) patients achieved remission, and 7 (36.8%) patients had improved outcomes. The two studies reported five cases of herpes zoster.…”

“…Compared with adult patients, the pediatric patients always took a lower dose of rituximab. Marks et al (2005) and Podolskaya et al (2008) reported that 7 patients with median age of 14.8 years received a dose of 750 mg/m 2 (about up to 100 mg, the maximum dose was 1 g) on Days 1 and 15. The participants in Nwobi et al (2008)'s study took a dose of 188 and 375 mg/m 2 .…”

“…У всех пациентов отмечались высокая актив-ность заболевания с развитием жизнеугрожающих состоя-ний, низкая эффективность стандартных методов терапии. Согласно этим исследованиям предложено две схемы вве-дения РТМ, продемонстрировавшие свою эффективность и безопасность: 375 мг на 1 м 2 поверхности тела на протя-жении 4 последовательных недель либо 750 мг на 1 м 2 с ин-тервалом в 2 нед [90][91][92][93][94][95].…”

“…4 Podolskaya et al previously reported that 18 of 19 children who received two RTX infusions, at a dose of 750 mg/m 2 , achieved favorable outcomes without serious infections. 3 On the other hand, it has been reported that a schedule of four doses of RTX can be associated with serious infections in patients with refractory SLE. 1,2 Interestingly, it has been reported that treatment with a single dose of RTX (375 mg/m 2 ) may be effective and safe in children with refractory steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome.…”

“…[1][2][3][4] Since the safety of RTX treatment is an important concern, especially in pediatric-onset disease, the development of optimal low-dose RTX treatment strategies for refractory SLE that minimize toxicity while maintaining treatment efficacy is required. Our present clinical experience suggests that even single doses of RTX may be effective for some children with refractory SLE.…”
