: This study used rituximab pharmacokinetic data belonging to the Lymphoma Study Association (LYSA, France), the French Innovative Leukemia Organization (FILO, France), the Mayo Clinic (Rochester, MN, USA), and Tours University Hospital (Tours, France). The study in patients with DLBCL or follicular lymphoma was funded by GELA and GOELAMS groups and F. Hoffman-La Roche Ltd (Basel, Switzerland). The study in patients with CLL was funded by the FILO Group and Roche SAS (Neuilly, France). Measurements of rituximab serum concentrations in patients with CLL, DLBCL, follicular lymphoma (FL), or RA were carried out via the CePiBAc platform. CePiBAc was co-financed by the EU. Europe is committed to the region Centre with the European Regional Development Fund. CePiBAc was partly supported by the French Higher Education and Research ministry under the program ‘Investissements d’avenir’ grant agreement: LabEx MAbImprove ANR-10-LABX-53-01.
