Rituximab and Desensitization for a Patient With Severe Factor IX Deficiency, Inhibitors, and History of Anaphylaxis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We report the case of a 9-year-old boy with severe hemophilia B with an inhibitor and a history of anaphylaxis to factor IX (FIX), who was successfully treated with immune tolerance (IT) that included rituximab (Genentech, San Francisco, CA) and desensitization. The patient began the first course of IT at age of 7 years with daily recombinant FIX infusions that was aborted at day 32 because of a systemic allergic reaction. A second course of IT was attempted 11 months later, initiated with a desensitization protocol with escalating doses of plasma-derived FIX in addition to therapy with rituximab. This was well tolerated without allergic symptoms and with eradication of the inhibitor and improvement in factor kinetics. A second course of rituximab was given 13 months later for worsening FIX kinetics again with an excellent response and without evidence of adverse effects.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
