Resumen
INTRODUCCIÓN:La esclerosis múltiple es una enfermedad neuroinflamatoria, crónica, degenerativa e incurable, asociada a pérdida neuronal, grados crecientes de discapacidad y deterioro cognoscitivo. Su manejo conlleva grandes costos para los sistemas de salud y la sociedad en general.
OBJETIVO:Evaluar la eficacia y la seguridad del uso del rituximab en el manejo de la esclerosis múltiple.
MATERIALES Y MÉTODOS:Revisión de la literatura y evaluación de la tecnología en salud tipo mini-HTA en red colaborativa con el Comité de Esclerosis Múltiple de la Asociación Colombiana de Neurología y el Instituto Global de Excelencia Clínica.
RESULTADOS:Se identificaron 27 referencias de texto completo para el análisis de la seguridad y la eficacia del rituximab en el manejo de la esclerosis múltiple. Se utilizaron análisis de costos, indicadores epidemiológicos y estudios pivótales de rituximab.
CONCLUSIÓN:La evidencia analizada confirma que la terapia con rituximab es efectiva y segura en el manejo de las formas de esclerosis múltiple remitente-recurrente (EMRR) y esclerosis múltiple primaria-progresiva (EMPP), con menor tasa de eventos adversos y tasas de interrupción o abandono del tratamiento más bajas que otras terapias modificadoras de la enfermedad (TME).
