I haven't seen any real studies on rituxan for MDS. I can tell you that i had 8 cycles of rituxan prior to being diagnosed with MDS (I was being treated for ITP) and it did not have any positive impact on my blood counts. Rituxan targets a specific set of proteins on cells that are not normally found in MDS patients as far as I know.
