To study the effectiveness of anti-CD20 (Rituximab, RTX, Rituxan®, Genentech Inc. USA) therapy in patients with severe, corticosteroid (CS)-resistant thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO). Retrospective interventional case series Six consecutive subjects with severe, progressive TAO unresponsive to CS. Electronic medical record review of consecutive patients receiving RTX during the previous 18 months. Responses to therapy were graded using standard clinical assessment and flow-cytometric analysis of peripheral lymphocytes. Clinical activity score (CAS), proptosis, strabismus, treatment side-effects, and quantification of regulatory T cells. Six patients were studied. Systemic CS failed to alter clinical activity in all patients (CAS= 5.3 + 1.0 (mean + standard deviation) before vs 5.5 + 0.8 during therapy for 7.5+ 6.4 months, p=1.0). However following RTX treatment, CAS improved from 5.5 + 0.8 to 1.3 + 0.5 at 2 months post treatment (p<0.03) and remained quiescent in all patients (CAS=0.7 + 0.8; p≤0.0001) at 6.2 + 4.5 month follow-up. Vision improved bilaterally in all 4 patients with dysthyroid optic neuropathy (DON). None of the six patients experienced disease relapse following RTX infusion and proptosis remained stable (Hertel measurement = 24 + 3.7mm before and 23.6 + 3.7mm after therapy, p=0.17). The abundance of T regulatory cells, assessed in one patient, increased within one week of RTX and remained elevated at 18 month follow-up. In progressive, CS-resistant TAO, rapid and sustained resolution of orbital inflammation and DON followed treatment with RTX.
