Rituxin for MDS?
Has anyone heard of Rituxin or Rituxin in combo with another drug for MDS patients? I am 4.5 months past transplant and following an early round of CMV around 1st month post, my counts went down. I am currently PRBC/tran dependent and frequently get Neupogen for my whites.I have not flipped over to my donor's blood type yet. My plates hover at 23-30. Last week my dr. said she may consider Rituxin, but I don't see anything on the net regarding it and MDS.
thanks,
Donna
