Rapid infusion rituximab is well tolerated in patients with primary CNS lymphoma.
CNS Oncology 2018 July 2
AIM: To establish the safety and feasibility of rapidly infusing rituximab over 90 min in patients with primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL).
PATIENTS & METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed all patients with PCNSL who received rapid rituximab infusions (RRI) from January 2016 to January 2017. Primary end point was incidence of infusion reactions.
RESULTS & CONCLUSION: 11 patients received a total of 44 RRIs. Rituximab was dosed at 500 or 750 mg/m2 . Premedication included acetaminophen and diphenhydramine. No infusion reactions occurred during any RRI. Two infusions were administered with steroids for neurologic symptoms at baseline (4.5%). Rapid administration of rituximab was safe and feasible for patients with PCNSL and at the higher doses received.
