1. What Rixathon is and what it is used for

What Rixathon is
Rixathon contains the active substance "rituximab", a type of protein called a "monoclonal antibody" that binds to the surface of certain white blood cells, specifically B-lymphocytes. When rituximab binds to the surface of these cells, it causes their death.

What Rixathon is used for
Rixathon can be used to treat a variety of different conditions in adults and children. Your 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) that involves B-lymphocytes, a specific type of white blood cell.
In adults, Rixathon may be given alone or in combination with other medicines collectively referred to as "chemotherapy".
In adult patients who respond to treatment, Rixathon can be used as maintenance therapy for 2 years following completion of initial treatment.
In children and adolescents, rituximab is administered in combination with "chemotherapy".

b) Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL)
CLL is the most common form of leukaemia in adults. CLL involves a specific type of lymphocyte, the B-cell, which originates in the bone marrow and matures in the lymph nodes. Patients with CLL have too many abnormal lymphocytes, which accumulate mainly in the bone marrow and blood. The proliferation of these abnormal B-lymphocytes causes the symptoms you may experience. Rixathon, in combination with chemotherapy, destroys these cells, which are then gradually removed from the body through biological processes.

c) Rheumatoid arthritis
Rixathon is used to treat 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 either stopped working, were not effective enough, or caused unwanted side effects. Rixathon is usually taken together with another medicine called methotrexate.
Rixathon slows down joint damage caused by rheumatoid arthritis and improves the ability to carry out normal daily activities.
The best response to Rixathon has been observed in patients who have positive blood tests for rheumatoid factor (RF) and/or anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies. Both tests are commonly positive in rheumatoid arthritis and help confirm the diagnosis.

d) Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and microscopic polyangiitis (MPA)
Rixathon is used to treat adults and children aged 2 years and older with GPA (previously called Wegener’s disease) or MPA, in combination with glucocorticoids.
GPA and MPA are two forms of blood vessel inflammation that primarily affect the lungs and kidneys, but may also involve other organs. B-lymphocytes are involved in the cause of these conditions.

e) Pemphigus vulgaris (PV)
Rixathon is used to treat patients with moderate to severe pemphigus vulgaris. PV is an autoimmune disease that causes 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 weakened;
  • if you have 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, consult your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before receiving Rixathon.
Warnings and precautions
Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before you are given Rixathon:

  • if you have previously had hepatitis infection or may currently have one, as in a small number of cases Rixathon could cause reactivation of hepatitis B, which in very rare cases may lead to death. Patients with a prior history of hepatitis B infection will be closely monitored by the doctor for any signs of this infection;
  • if you have previously had heart problems (such as angina, palpitations, or heart failure) or respiratory problems.

If any of the above conditions apply to you (or if you have any doubts), speak with your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before receiving Rixathon. Your doctor may need to monitor you particularly closely during treatment with Rixathon.
Also speak with your doctor if you think you may need any vaccination in the near future, including vaccinations required for travel to other countries. Some vaccines should not be given at the same time as Rixathon or in the months following Rixathon treatment. Your doctor will assess whether you can receive any vaccine before starting 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 such as a cold. The cells affected by Rixathon are involved in fighting infections, and it is necessary to wait until the infection has resolved before taking Rixathon. Also, inform your doctor if you have previously had frequent infections or suffer from serious infections.

Children and adolescents
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma
Rituximab may be used to treat children and adolescents aged 6 months and older with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, specifically CD20-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), Burkitt lymphoma (BL)/Burkitt leukemia (acute mature B-cell leukemia; BAL), or Burkitt-like lymphoma (BLL).
Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) or microscopic polyangiitis (MPA)
Rituximab may be used to treat children and adolescents aged 2 years and older with GPA (previously known as Wegener’s disease) or MPA. Currently, limited information is available regarding the use of rituximab in children and adolescents with other diseases.
Talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before administration of this medicine if you or your child is 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 without a prescription and herbal medicines, as Rixathon may affect how some medicines work and vice versa.
Specifically, inform your doctor:

  • if you are taking medicines for high blood pressure. You may be asked to stop taking these medicines 12 hours before receiving Rixathon, as some people experience a drop in blood pressure during Rixathon infusion;
  • if you have previously taken medicines that affect the immune system—such as chemotherapy or immunosuppressive drugs.

If any of the above conditions apply to you (or if you have any doubts), talk to your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse before receiving Rixathon.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant, suspect you may be pregnant, or are planning a pregnancy, inform your doctor or nurse. This is because Rixathon can cross the placenta and may affect the unborn child.
If there is any possibility you could become pregnant, you must use an effective method of contraception during treatment with Rixathon and for 12 months after your last dose of Rixathon.
Breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment with Rixathon and for 6 months after treatment, as rituximab passes into breast milk in very small amounts. Since the long-term effects on breastfed infants are unknown, a precautionary approach is advised.

Driving and using machines
It is not known whether rituximab affects the ability to drive or use tools or machines.

Rixathon contains sodium
This medicine contains 52.6 mg of sodium (a main component of table salt) per 10 mL vial and 263.2 mg of sodium per 50 mL vial.
This corresponds to 2.6% (in the 10 mL vial) and 13.2% (in the 50 mL vial) of the maximum daily dietary intake recommended for an adult.

3. How Rixathon is administered

Administration
Rixathon will be administered to you by a doctor or a nurse experienced in the use of this treatment.
You will be closely monitored during administration of the medicine in order to detect any possible
adverse effects.
Rixathon will always be administered by intravenous infusion (a slow drip into a vein).

Medicines given before each Rixathon infusion
Before each Rixathon infusion, you will be given other medicines (premedication) to prevent or reduce
the occurrence of possible adverse effects.

Dose and frequency of treatment

a) If you are being treated for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

  • If you are receiving Rixathon alone
    Rixathon will be given once a week for 4 weeks. Repeated cycles of Rixathon treatment may be possible.

  • If you are receiving Rixathon in combination with chemotherapy
    You will receive Rixathon on the same day as your chemotherapy; administration usually occurs every 3 weeks for up to 8 times.

  • If you respond well to treatment, Rixathon may be given as maintenance therapy every 2 or 3 months for two years. Depending on your response to the medicine, your doctor may adjust this treatment schedule.

  • If you are under 18 years of age
    You will receive Rixathon in combination with chemotherapy. You will receive Rixathon up to 6 times over a period of 3.5 to 5.5 months.

b) If you are being treated for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)
If you are receiving 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. Your doctor will decide whether you need concomitant supportive therapy.

c) If you are being treated for rheumatoid arthritis
Each treatment cycle consists of two separate infusions given 2 weeks apart. Repeated cycles of Rixathon treatment may be possible. Based on disease signs and symptoms, your doctor will determine when to administer further cycles. This may occur after several months.

d) If you are being treated for granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) or microscopic polyangiitis (MPA)
Treatment with Rixathon consists of four separate infusions given at weekly intervals. Corticosteroids will be administered by injection before starting Rixathon treatment. Oral corticosteroids may be started at any time by your doctor to manage your condition.

If you are 18 years of age or older and respond well to treatment, Rixathon may be given as maintenance therapy. This will consist of two separate infusions given 2 weeks apart, followed by one infusion every 6 months for at least 2 years. Depending on your response to the medicine, your doctor may decide to extend Rixathon treatment (up to a maximum duration of 5 years).

e) If you are being treated for pemphigus vulgaris (PV)
Each treatment cycle consists of two separate infusions given 2 weeks apart. If you respond well to treatment, Rixathon may be given as maintenance therapy at 1 year and 18 months after initial treatment, and subsequently, if necessary, every 6 months. Depending on your response to the medicine, your doctor may modify this treatment schedule.

If you have any further questions about the use of this medicine, please ask your doctor, pharmacist, or nurse.

4. Possible side effects

Like all medicines, this medicine can cause side effects, although not everyone gets them.
Most side effects are mild or moderate, but in some cases they can be severe and require treatment. Rarely, some of these reactions have been fatal.

Infusion reactions
During or within the first 24 hours after the infusion, you may develop fever, chills, and shaking. Less frequently, some patients may experience pain at the infusion site, blistering, skin itching, nausea, fatigue, headache, breathing difficulties, increased blood pressure, wheezing, sore throat, swelling of the tongue or throat, irritation or runny nose, vomiting, feeling of warmth or palpitations, heart attack, or reduced platelet count. If you have heart disease or angina, these reactions may worsen. If you or your child experiences any of these symptoms, inform immediately the person administering the infusion, as it may be necessary to slow down or stop the infusion rate. Additional treatment may be required, for example with an antihistamine or paracetamol. Once these symptoms have resolved or improved, the infusion may be resumed. These reactions are less likely to occur after the second infusion. Your doctor may decide to discontinue treatment with Rixathon if these reactions are severe.

Infections
Inform your doctor immediately if you or your child shows signs of infection, including:

  • fever, cough, sore throat, burning sensation when urinating, feeling weak or generally unwell;
  • memory loss, thinking disturbances, difficulty walking, or loss of vision – these may be due to a very rare and serious brain infection that can be fatal (progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy or PML);
  • fever, headache, neck stiffness, lack of coordination (ataxia), personality changes, hallucinations, altered consciousness, seizures, or coma – these may be due to a serious brain infection (enteroviral meningioencephalitis), which can be fatal.

You may be more prone to 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 under 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 will be given to you by your doctor. It is important that you carry this alert card with you and show it to family members or anyone caring for you.

Skin reactions
Very rarely, serious skin reactions with blistering, which may be life-threatening, can occur. 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 fever may be present. Inform your doctor immediately if any of these symptoms occur.
