Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rituximab is FDA-approved for the treatment of moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis, either alone or in combination with methotrexate. It targets CD20, a protein found on the surface of B cells, and causes B cell depletion. This helps to reduce inflammation and damage to the joints in rheumatoid arthritis. It is not used to treat HIV, breast cancer or LAD1.
