Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

The primary end point of the study was to assess the response rate to treatment 1 year after the first rituximab infusion.

Time frame: one year

A complete response (CR) was defined as a platelet count >100 x 109/l and a response (R): by a platelet count >30 x 109/l with a least a doubling of the baseline value without any rescue intervention within 8 weeks before assessment, and no response (NR) was defined as a platelet count lower than 30 x 109/

Secondary outcomes

The response rate 3months, and at the last follow-up after the first rituximab infusion. Variable associated with RTX response.

Time frame: 3 months, one year, last follow-up
