All lines of therapy

Prednisolone monotherapy

Regimen

Study Evidence Comparator Efficacy
Birgens et al. 2013 Phase 3 (C) Prednisolone & Rituximab Seems to have inferior RFS

Immunosuppressive therapy

  • Prednisolone (Millipred) 1.5 mg/kg/day PO for 2 weeks, then 0.75 mg/kg/day PO for 1 week (week 3), then 0.5 mg/kg/d PO for 1 week (week 4), followed by gradual reduction over the next 4-8 weeks to the lowest dose that was effective in maintaining a normal hemoglobin level.

Immunosuppressive therapy

  • Rituximab (Rituxan) 375 mg/m2 IV once weekly for 4 weeks

Supportive care
