Rituximab (RTX) is effective in the induction and maintenance of remission in antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV). However, uncertainty remains regarding the optimal maintenance dosing regimen. This work evaluates the relationship between variability in RTX dosing and pharmacological response in AAV.
