Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the safety and effectiveness of rituximab biosimilars compared to the original rituximab (Mabthera) in 800 patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukemia across 13 centers in Italy.
- Out of 505 newly diagnosed patients analyzed, 16.8% experienced adverse drug reactions (ADRs), mostly during the first and second infusions, with the common reactions being general disorders and administration site conditions.
- The results indicate that rituximab biosimilars are clinically safe and switching between different biosimilars does not increase adverse events, potentially encouraging wider use and lowering healthcare costs.
