Currently, there are limited data on possible drug interactions with rituximab.
In CLL patients, co-administration with rituximab did not appear to have an effect on the pharmacokinetics of fludarabine or cyclophosphamide. In addition, there was no apparent effect of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide on the pharmacokinetics of rituximab.
Renal toxicity has occurred in patients who experience tumor lysis syndrome (TLS) and in patients with NHL administered concomitant cisplatin therapy during clinical trials. The combination of cisplatin and Rituximab is not an approved treatment regimen. Monitor closely for signs of renal failure and discontinue Rituximab in patients with a rising serum creatinine or oliguria.
Patients with human anti-mouse antibody (HAMA) or anti-drug antibody (ADA) titres may have allergic or hypersensitivity reactions when treated with other diagnostic or therapeutic monoclonal antibodies.
