Rituximab , sold under the trade names Rituxan and MabThera , is a chimeric monoclonal antibody against the protein CD20 . Rituximab is used in the treatment of B cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma , B-cell leukemias , and some autoimmune disorders .
Rituximab was developed by IDEC Pharmaceuticals (formed in 1986 by biotech pioneers Ivor Royston and Howard Birndorf ). [ 1 ] Based on its safety and effectiveness in clinical trials , [ 2 ] rituximab was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1997 for B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma resistant to other chemotherapy regimens. [ 3 ] Rituximab, in combination with CHOP chemotherapy, is now standard therapy in the initial treatment of diffuse large B cell lymphoma and other aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas. It is currently co-marketed by Biogen Idec and Genentech in the U.S. and by Roche in the European Union .
