Those indications include relapsed or refractory, low-grade or follicular, CD20-positive, B-cell non–Hodgkin's lymphoma as a single agent.
Also, Truxima was approved for previously untreated follicular, CD20-positive, B-cell NHL in combination with first line chemotherapy and, in patients achieving a complete or partial response to a rituximab product in combination with chemotherapy, as single-agent maintenance therapy.
Truxima was approved for non-progressing (including stable disease), low-grade, CD20-positive, B-cell NHL as a single agent after first-line cyclophosphamide, vincristine, and prednisone chemotherapy.
The FDA approval is based on a review of a comprehensive data package inclusive of foundational and extensive analytical characterization, nonclinical data, clinical pharmacology, immunogenicity, clinical efficacy, and safety data.
The totality of evidence submitted for Truxima demonstrated that there were no clinically meaningful differences in purity, potency and safety between Truxima and Rituxan for the three indications.
