| The results of the determination of the rituximab levels and development of antibodies against rituximab will be correlated to the patient data in a multivariate analysis. The parameters that will be included into the multivariate analysis are: Age of the patient, sex, type of CD20+ B-cell malignancy, tumor load, type of chemotherapy if applicable, number of cycles given to the patient, number of maintenance treatment, renal function, blood counts and presence of CD20+ cells in the peripheral blood. We wish to get answer to the following questions: · Intra-patient: correlation of the pharmacokinetics with tumor load, the number of cycles given, duration of maintenance treatment, renal function, influence of chemotherapy on the pharmacokinetics of rituximab, if the pharmacokinetics of rituximab come to a steady state situation and if so, is this correlated to tumor load, response, kind of chemotherapy, renal function · Inter patient: variation between patients with regard to the parameters mentioned in the intra patient variation and the parameters which determine this variation. | — |
