Long-Term Safety of Rituximab in Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis and in Microscopic Polyangiitis.

The safety profile of long-term treatment with rituximab in patients with GPA or MPA was consistent with that of rituximab administered for shorter durations and with rituximab's known safety profile in other autoimmune diseases for which it has received regulatory approval. These findings provide clinicians with long-term, practice-level safety data for rituximab in the treatment of GPA or MPA.
