Article Synopsis
  • This systematic review and meta-analysis investigates the effectiveness and safety of rituximab (RTX) for treating idiopathic inflammatory myositis (IIM) by analyzing multiple studies through a systematic search of PubMed and Embase.
  • Seventeen studies involving 362 patients were included, revealing an overall response rate of 70%, with complete remission in 13% and partial response in 48%, indicating significant variation among different myositis types.
  • While RTX shows promise for IIM treatment, the notable side effects, including infusion reactions and infections, underscore the necessity for careful patient monitoring and further controlled trials to better understand long-term effects and establish treatment protocols.
