Our findings suggest that in our cohort CD27-positive B-cell-based RTX reinfusion regimen was able to reduce the number of RTX reinfusions relative to CD19-positive B-cell monitoring, with comparable efficacy and safety profile. In order to achieve an even more individualized and effective treatment, the FCGR3A genetic polymorphisms could be evaluated when assessing RTX efficacy.
