Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Intravenous administration of radiolabelled Rituximab in one tracer and one therapy activity followed by maintenance treatment with MabThera over one year.

Intervention:

Week one:
Intravenous (IV) rituximab 375 mg/m2
dosimetry using tracer dose of IV I-131 rituximab

Week two:
IV rituximab 375 mg/m2 therapy with individualised dose of IV I-131 rituximab. The therapeutic dose of I-131 rituximab is individualised for each patient, according to their clearance of a tracer quantity of I-131 rituximab. The therapeutic dose is calculated to give an absorbed dose to the red marrow of < 0.75 Gy.

Week three:
IV rituximab 375 mg/m2

Week four:
IV rituximab 375 mg/m2

Three months:
IV rituximab 375 mg/m2

six months:
IV rituximab 375 mg/m2

Nine months:
IV rituximab 375 mg/m2

Twelve months:
IV rituximab 375 mg/m2
