Real-world experience of effectiveness of non-medical switch from originator to biosimilar rituximab in rheumatoid arthritis.

Non-medical switch to RTX-B was largely effective. Factors associated with RTX-B discontinuation, including comorbidities, previous biologic DMARDs, and RTX-O treatment history, may inform switch decisions. Most patients who switched back to RTX-O for LOE remained on treatment at short-term follow-up.
