1 Rituximab in Antiphospholipid Syndrome (RITAPS) A Pilot Open-Label Phase II Prospective Trial for Non-Criteria Manifestations of Antiphospholipid Antibodies (NCT: ) Disclosure Research Support: Lupus Clinical Trials Consortium New York Community Trust Doruk Erkan 1, JoAnn Vega 1, Glendalee Ramon 1, Elizabeth Kozora 2, Michael D. Lockshin 1 1 Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, NY 2 National Jewish Health, Denver, CO Research Grant/Consultant: Genentech Clinical Trial Investigator: HGS, Merck EMD-Serono Rituximab Anti-CD20 Chimeric Monoclonal Ab CD20: (+) Pre-B Cell Mature/Memory B Cell Activated B Cell CD20: (-) Plasma Cell Causes B cell depletion via: Complement dependent cytotoxicity Antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity Membrane attack complex lysis Cell-mediated cytotoxicity through Fc receptor effector cells Inducing apoptosis in vitro when crosslinked by a secondary Ab Background Rituximab (Rituxan ) is a glycosylated IgG 1 chimeric mouse/human antibody containing murine light- and heavy-chain variable regions and human 1 heavy-chain and light-chain constant regions that binds to CD20 antigen. B Cell Inhibition in APS Background Based on the In Vitro Experience: B cells are involved in apl-related clinical events B-cell activating-factor (BAFF) blockage can prevent the disease onset and prolongs survival in APS mouse models Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen 4 immunoglobulin (CTLA4-Ig) prevents initiation, but not development, of APS in NZW x BXSB F1 APS mouse model. Youinou P, Reneaudineau Y. The APS as a model for B-cell-induced autoimmune diseases. Thromb Res 2004; 114: Kahn P, Ramanujman M, Bethunaickan R, et al. Prevention of murine APS by BAFF blockade.

Autoimmunity 2004; 37: B Cell Inhibition in APS Background Based on the Uncontrolled Clinical experience: Rituximab may be effective for thrombocytopenia, hemolytic anemia, and skin ulcers in apl-positive patients. Rituximab has been used in difficult-to-treat APS patients It is unknown if it is effective against apl-mediated thrombosis It is unknown if it eliminates persistently and significantly positive apl There has been no systematic assessment of rituximab use in persistently apl-positive patients RITAPS TRIAL: Investigator-initiated Single center Open label Phase II Descriptive Pilot trial Tenedios F, Erkan D, Lockshin MD.

No Change in White Matter Lesions #: 5/6 Acknowledgments The cost of the laboratory tests during the study period and the study medication are covered by Genentech.
