Let's get some info on ritux!
I can't answer the question yet, because I haven't used it long enough. We might not have enough long-term rtx users yet to conduct this poll.

Regarding frequency....My daughter started rituximab November of '06, and has required infusions at approximate 6 month intervals to avoid disease reoccurance. This correlates with the regeneration of B cells, which for her occurs at approx'ly 6-9 months. (3 year 7 month history), with some of that time accompanied by methotrexate.
Yours,
Jane (Palmyra, mom of Alison, Crohn's'99, Weg'06)

Statistical analysis is simplified when you have only one data point.
