Open-Label, Pilot Study of the Safety and Clinical Effects of Rituximab in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis-Associated Interstitial Pneumonia.
Our overall research objective is to examine the course of patients with progressive RA-associated interstitial pneumonia treated with rituximab to gain important information on the usefulness of potential study endpoints, the magnitude of response that can be expected in a clinical trial and potential difficulties that can be associated with a certain trial design and the overall feasibility of a full-scale randomized controlled trial.
