Rituximab (Rtx) antibody infusions will be administered on Day 1, 2, 3 (cycle 1) and Day 1 (cycles 2 to 4). Glucocorticoid (either Dexamethasone or Methyl-prednisolone) infusions will be administered on Days 1 to 3 (cycles 1-4(6)) and should precede the Rituximab infusion. Rituximab: Rituximab (Rtx) antibody infusions will be administered on Day 1, 2, 3 (cycle 1) and Day 1 (cycles 2 to 4). Glucocorticoid: Glucocorticoid (either Dexamethasone or Methyl-prednisolone) infusions will be administered on Days 1 to 3 (cycles 1-4(6)) and should precede the Rituximab infusion.
