Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will compare the plasma pharmacokinetic profile and the change in disease activity score in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis following treatment with two 1000 mg doses of DRL\_RI or one of two sources of rituximab (Rituxan® or MabThera®). Patients will also be monitored for safety, B cell depletion and recovery, and for the development of immune responses to the administered study drugs
