1. What is Rixathon and what is it used for
What is Rixathon
Rixathon contains the active substance “rituximab”, a type of protein called a “monoclonal antibody” that binds to the surface of particular white blood cells, namely B lymphocytes. When rituximab binds to the surface of these cells it causes their death.
What is Rixathon used for
Rixathon can be used for the treatment of many and diverse conditions in adults and children. The doctor may prescribe Rixathon for the treatment of:
a)Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a disease of the lymphatic tissue (part of the immune system) which involves B lymphocytes, a particular type of white blood cell.
In adults Rixathon can be administered as monotherapy (alone) or with other medicines called collectively “chemotherapy”.
In adult patients in whom the treatment proves effective, Rixathon can be used as maintenance therapy for 2 years after completion of initial treatment.
In children and adolescents rituximab is administered in association with “chemotherapy”.
b)Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)
CLL is the most common form of leukemia in adults. CLL involves a particular lymphocyte, the B cell, which originates from the bone marrow and matures in the lymph nodes. Patients with CLL have too many abnormal lymphocytes, which accumulate especially in the bone marrow and blood. The proliferation of these abnormal B lymphocytes is the cause of the symptoms you may have. Rixathon in association with chemotherapy destroys these cells which are gradually removed from the body by biological processes.
c)Rheumatoid Arthritis
Rixathon is used for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease that affects the joints. B lymphocytes are responsible for some of the symptoms you have. Rixathon is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis in people who have already tried other medicines that have stopped working, have not worked well enough or have caused undesirable effects. Rixathon is generally taken with another medicine called methotrexate.
Rixathon slows down the damage to the joints caused by rheumatoid arthritis and increases the ability to perform normal daily activities.
The best response to Rixathon has been observed in those who have a blood test positive for rheumatoid factor (RF) and/or anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (anti-CCP). Both tests are commonly positive in rheumatoid arthritis and help in confirming the diagnosis.
d)Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (GPA) and Microscopic Polyangiitis (MPA)
Rixathon is used for the treatment of adults and children aged 2 years or older with GPA (previously called Wegener's disease) or MPA, in association with glucocorticoids.
GPA and MPA are two forms of inflammation of the blood vessels that mainly affect the lungs and kidneys, but can also affect other organs. B lymphocytes are involved in the cause of these conditions.
e)Pemphigus Vulgaris (PV)
Rixathon is used for the treatment of patients with moderate to severe pemphigus vulgaris. PV is an autoimmune disease that causes the formation of painful blisters on the skin and mucous membranes (lining tissues) of the mouth, nose, throat and genitals.
2. What you need to know before you are given Rixathon
Do not take Rixathon
- if you are allergic to rituximab, to other proteins similar to rituximab or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6);
- if you currently have a serious active infection;
- if your immune system is weak;
- if you suffer from severe heart failure or severe uncontrolled heart disease and have rheumatoid arthritis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis, microscopic polyangiitis or pemphigus vulgaris.
Do not take Rixathon if any of the above conditions apply to you. If you have any doubts, ask your
doctor, pharmacist or nurse before you are given Rixathon.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before you are given Rixathon:
- if you have had a hepatitis infection in the past or might have it now, as in a small number of cases Rixathon may cause reactivation of hepatitis B which in very rare cases can cause death. Patients with a previous hepatitis B infection will be carefully monitored by the doctor to detect any signs of this infection;
- if you have had heart problems in the past (such as angina, palpitations or heart failure) or have had breathing problems.
If any of the above conditions apply to you (or if you have any doubts), talk to your doctor, pharmacist or
nurse before you are given Rixathon. Your doctor may need to pay particular attention to you during
treatment with Rixathon.
Talk to your doctor also if you think you need any vaccinations in the near future,
including vaccinations needed to travel to other countries. Some vaccines should not be
given at the same time as Rixathon or in the months following taking Rixathon. Your
doctor will assess whether you can have any vaccines before taking Rixathon.
If you have rheumatoid arthritis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), microscopic polyangiitis
(MPA) or pemphigus vulgaris (PV) talk to your doctor
- if you think you have an infection, even a mild one like a cold. The cells that are affected by
Rixathon is used to fight infections and it is necessary to wait for the infection to
heal before taking Rixathon. Also, inform your doctor if you have had numerous
infections in the past or if you suffer from severe infections.
Children and adolescents
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma
Rituximab can be used for the treatment of children and adolescents aged 6
months or older with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, specifically diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL)
CD20 positive, Burkitt lymphoma (BL)/Burkitt leukemia (mature B-cell acute leukemia; BAL)
or Burkitt-like lymphoma (BLL).
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) or microscopic polyangiitis (MPA)
Rituximab can be used for the treatment of children and adolescents, aged 2
years or older, with GPA (previously called Wegener's disease) or MPA. Currently, there is not
much information available regarding the use of rituximab in children and adolescents with other
diseases.
Talk to your doctor, pharmacist or nurse before administering this medicine if
you or your child are under 18 years of age.
Other medicines and Rixathon
Inform your doctor, pharmacist or nurse if you are taking, have recently taken or might
take any other medicines, including those available without a prescription and herbal medicines, as Rixathon can affect the way some medicines work and vice versa.
In particular, inform your doctor:
- if you are taking medicines for the treatment of high blood pressure. You may be asked to stop taking these medicines 12 hours before taking Rixathon, as some people experience a drop in blood pressure during the administration of Rixathon;
- if you have taken medicines in the past that affect the immune system - such as chemotherapy or immunosuppressant drugs.
If any of the above conditions apply to you (or if you have any doubts), talk to your doctor, pharmacist or
nurse before you are given Rixathon.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant, suspect you are pregnant or are planning a pregnancy, inform your doctor or
nurse. This is because Rixathon can cross the placenta and have effects on the baby.
If there is a possibility that you may become pregnant, during therapy with Rixathon and for 12 months after
the last treatment with Rixathon, you should use effective contraception. This is because
Rixathon passes into breast milk in very small amounts. Because the long-term effects on
breastfed infants are not known, as a precaution, breastfeeding is not
recommended during treatment with Rixathon and for 6 months after treatment.
Driving and using machines
It is not known whether rituximab affects the ability to drive and use tools or machinery.
Rixathon contains sodium
This medicine contains 52.6 mg of sodium (the main component of table salt) per
10 mL vial and 263.2 mg of sodium per 50 mL vial.
This is equivalent to 2.6% (in the 10 mL vial) and 13.2% (in the 50 mL vial) of the maximum
recommended daily intake with the diet of an adult.
3. How Rixathon is administered
Administration
Rixathon will be administered by a doctor or a nurse experienced in the use of this treatment.
They will carefully monitor you during the administration of the medicine in order to detect
the possible occurrence of undesirable effects.
The administration of Rixathon will always be done by intravenous drip infusion
(intravenous infusion).
Medicines administered before each Rixathon infusion
Before the Rixathon infusion, other medicines (premedication) will be administered to you to
prevent or reduce the occurrence of possible undesirable effects.
Quantity and frequency with which you will receive therapy
a)If you are being treated for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
- If you are administered only RixathonRixathon will be administered once a week for 4 weeks. Repeated treatment cycles with Rixathon are possible.
- If you are administered Rixathonin combination with chemotherapyYou will receive Rixathon on the same day you receive chemotherapy; their administration generally occurs every 3 weeks for a maximum of 8 times.
- If you respond well to treatment, Rixathon may be administered as maintenance therapy every 2 or 3 months for two years. Based on your response to the medicine, the doctor may modify this administration schedule.
- If you are under 18 years of age, you will be administered Rixathon with chemotherapy. You will receive Rixathon up to 6 times over a period of 3.5-5.5 months.
b)If you are being treated for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
If you are being treated with Rixathon in combination with chemotherapy,
you will receive Rixathon infusions on day 0 of cycle 1, then on day 1 of each cycle for a total of 6 cycles.
Each cycle lasts 28 days. Chemotherapy must be administered after the Rixathon infusion.
The doctor will decide whether you need concomitant supportive therapy.
c)If you are being treated for rheumatoid arthritis
Each treatment cycle involves two distinct infusions, administered at an interval of
2 weeks from each other. Repeated treatment cycles with Rixathon are possible. Based on the signs and
symptoms of the disease, the doctor will determine when to administer further cycles. This could
occur several months apart.
d)If you are being treated for granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) or microscopic polyangiitis
(MPA)
Treatment with Rixathon involves four distinct infusions given at weekly intervals. Corticosteroids will be administered by injection before the start of treatment with Rixathon. Oral corticosteroids may be started at any time by the doctor
to treat your condition.
If your age is 18 years or older and you respond well to treatment, Rixathon may be
administered as maintenance therapy. This will consist of two distinct infusions,
administered at an interval of 2 weeks from each other, followed by an infusion every 6 months for
at least 2 years. Based on your response to the medicine, the doctor may decide to extend the
treatment with Rixathon (up to a maximum duration of 5 years).
e)If you are being treated for pemphigus vulgaris (PV)
Each treatment cycle involves two distinct infusions, administered at an interval of 2
weeks from each other. If you respond well to treatment, Rixathon may be administered
as maintenance therapy at 1 year and 18 months from the initial treatment and, subsequently, if
necessary, every 6 months. Based on your response to the medicine, the doctor may modify this
administration schedule.
If you have any further questions regarding the use of this medicine, ask your doctor, pharmacist or
nurse.
4. Possible side effects
Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everyone will experience them.
Most side effects are mild or moderate, but in some cases they can be serious
and require treatment. Rarely, some of these reactions have been fatal.
Infusion reactions
During or within the first 24 hours of the infusion, you may develop fever, chills, and tremor. Less
frequently, some patients may experience pain at the infusion site, blister formation,
itching, nausea, fatigue, headache, difficulty breathing, increased blood
pressure, wheezing, sore throat, swelling of the tongue or throat, irritation or runny nose,
vomiting, a feeling of warmth or palpitations, heart attack, or a decrease in the number of platelets. If
you have heart disease or angina, these reactions may worsen. If you or
your child experiences any of these symptoms, immediately inform the person who is
administering the infusion, as it may be necessary to slow down the infusion rate or
suspend it. Additional treatment may be necessary, for example with an antihistamine or
paracetamol. When these symptoms resolve or improve, the infusion can be resumed. It
is less likely that these reactions will occur after the second infusion. The doctor may
decide to discontinue treatment with Rixathon if these reactions are severe.
Infections
Immediately inform your doctor if you or your child shows signs of an infection,
including:
- fever, cough, sore throat, burning when urinating, feeling weak or generally unwell;
- memory loss, thinking problems, difficulty walking, or vision loss - these may be due to a very rare and serious brain infection that can be fatal (progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy or PML);
- fever, headache, and stiff neck, lack of coordination (ataxia), altered personality, hallucinations, altered state of consciousness, seizures, or coma - these may be due to a serious brain infection (enteroviral meningoencephalitis), which can be fatal.
You may be more likely to develop infections during treatment with Rixathon.
These are often colds, but cases of pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and
serious viral infections have occurred. These conditions are listed below in the section “Other side
effects”.
If you are being treated for rheumatoid arthritis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis, microscopic polyangiitis, or pemphigus vulgaris, you will also find this information in the Patient Alert Card that your doctor will give you. It is important that you carry this alert card with you and
show it to family members or anyone who cares for you.
Skin reactions
Very rarely, serious skin reactions with blister formation can occur, which
can be life-threatening. Redness, often associated with blisters, may appear on the
skin or mucous membranes, such as inside the mouth, in the genital area, or on the eyelids, and
may be accompanied by fever. Immediately inform your doctor if you experience any of
these symptoms.
