Rapid Infusion with CT-P10 in Patients with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma or Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia: Interim Six Month Follow-up from a European Non-Interventional Post-Authorisation Safety Study

Background: In February 2017, CT-P10 became the first rituximab biosimilar to be approved in Europe for treatment of rheumatic diseases and specific blood cancers including non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL). More recently, CT-P10 was approved in the US for NHL. Although the recommended rituximab administration protocol is a slow initial infusion rate with gradual up-titration, rapid infusion protocols are used widely in patients with no serious complications from their first infusion. There are limited data on the safety of rapidly infused CT-P10.
