Interventions

  • Rituximab (genetical recombination) — DRUG
    Administer 1,000 mg of rituximab (genetical recombination) IV infusion every two weeks for two doses in double-blind phase.
  • Placebo — DRUG
    Administer placebo IV infusion every two weeks for two doses in double-blind phase.
  • Rituximab (genetical recombination) — DRUG
    Patients who remain to be ICR II (Incomplete Remission Type II) or NR (No Response) until Week 26 in the double-blind phase, if the patients wish to move to the open-label phase and the investigator or a subinvestigator considers the move necessary, the patient will move to the open-label phase and receive 1,000 mg of rituximab (genetical recombination) IV infusion every two weeks for two doses after the readministration criteria are confirmed to be met.
