Orbital inflammation is a potentially blinding and disfiguring disease process which is often treated with systemic corticosteroids and immunosuppression; better treatments are needed. To determine whether rituximab, a monoclonal antibody against the B-lymphocyte antigen CD20, is effective in the treatment of refractory orbital inflammation. Prospective, dose-ranging, randomized, double-masked Phase I/II clinical trial Tertiary referral ophthalmology clinic. 10 patients with orbital inflammation refractory to systemic corticosteroids and at least one other immunosuppressive agent were enrolled from January 2007 to March 2010. Rituximab infusions at study days 1 and 15; either 500 mg or 1000 mg. Initial responders with recurrent inflammation after week 24 were permitted reinfusion with an additional cycle of two open-label rituximab 1000 mg infusions. Primary: reduction of inflammation measured with a validated orbital disease grading scale (OGS) and corticosteroid dose reduction by at least 50%. Secondary: visual acuity, reduction in pain, and patient and physician-reported global health assessment. Of 10 enrolled patients, 7 demonstrated improvement in OGS. Of these 7, 4 were taking corticosteroids at study inception and all achieved successful dose reduction. With regard to secondary outcome measures, 7/10 and 8/10 patients improved in patient and physician global health scores, respectively, and 7/10 had reduction in pain by 25% or more. Four initial responders experienced breakthrough inflammation during the study period and were reinfused. Vision remained stable in all subjects. Three of 10 patients had significant short-term objective or subjective worsening 2-8 weeks after receiving rituximab infusions, which was averted in subsequent patients with peri-infusional oral corticosteroids and did not affect eventual positive treatment outcome. No differences with regard to efficacy, toxicity, or likelihood of retreatment were noted between the dosing arms. Rituximab was safe and effective in 7 of 10 enrolled patients with non-infectious orbital disease within 24 weeks, although 4 required reinfusion with rituximab to maintain control of orbital inflammation. Significant toxicity was not noted. Peri-infusional inflammatory exacerbations were successfully treated with oral corticosteroids and did not affect eventual positive outcomes.
