Primary current-line option
- Indication
- IND-PTLD-MAINTENANCE-RITUXIMAB
- Regimen
- Rituximab maintenance after EBV+ B-PTLD response (PTLD-1 sequential approach)
- Drugs + NSZU
- Rituximab (DRUG-RITUXIMAB) 375 mg/m² · IV every 3 weeks × 4 doses (sequential consolidation per PTLD-1 trial); OR every 2 months × 8 doses for extended maintenance in selected high-risk patients · IV ⚠ NSZU — not for this indication
- Supportive care
- SUP-PJP-PROPHYLAXIS, SUP-HBV-PROPHYLAXIS
- Hard contraindications
- CI-HBV-NO-PROPHYLAXIS
- Reason
- Primary current-line option selected by ALGO-PTLD-2L at step 1.

What NOT to do
Explicit prohibitive rules, each grounded in a regimen / supportive care / contraindication entity
Standard plan (IND-PTLD-MAINTENANCE-RITUXIMAB)
- Do NOT continue maintenance if progressed — switch to R-CHOP.
- Do NOT skimp on HBV prophylaxis throughout + 12 months post.
- Do NOT discontinue monitoring graft function — IS modulation triggers concomitant rejection risk.
- Do NOT give rituximab in CD20- residual disease — use alternative.
- Do NOT ignore persistent EBV viral load — correlates with molecular relapse.
- Do NOT forget about PJP prophylaxis throughout.
- Do NOT use without transplant team co-management.
Timeline
Treatment timeline — derived from regimen + monitoring schedule
Standard plan
Induction · Rituximab maintenance after EBV+ B-PTLD response (PTLD-1 sequential approach)
21-day cycles × 4 doses (PTLD-1 standard) or up to 8 doses (extended high-risk)
MDT brief
Discussion questions (2, 1 blocking)
BLOCKING OQ-CD20-CONFIRMATION
Is CD20+ status confirmed by histology (IHC)? Without CD20+, rituximab/obinutuzumab are not indicated.
Anti-CD20 therapy is the backbone of most lines of treatment; absence of CD20 expression fully changes the regimen.
→ pathologist
OQ-STAGING-COMPLETE
Has complete staging been done (Lugano + PET/CT or CT)?
Prognosis and track selection depend on stage and tumor burden.
→ radiologist

Missing data for doctor action
| Priority | Clinical item | Owner | Why it matters | Next action | Blocks |
|---|
| CRITICAL | CD20 IHC status cd20_ihc_status
| pathologist | Confirms CD20-directed therapy is biologically appropriate. | Verify CD20 IHC result, specimen, method, and report date. | - |
| CRITICAL | Lugano stage lugano_stage
| radiologist | Defines lymphoma extent and supports tumor-burden and response-assessment decisions. | Document Lugano stage from PET/CT or contrast CT staging. | - |
| RECOMMENDED | LDH ratio to ULN ldh_ratio_to_uln
| medical_oncologist | Supports prognostic scoring and aggressive-biology flags. | Enter LDH with local upper limit of normal. | - |
| RECOMMENDED | FIB-4 liver fibrosis index fib4_index
| infectious_disease_hepatology | Screens hepatic fibrosis risk before hepatotoxic therapy or antiviral coordination. | Calculate FIB-4 from age, AST, ALT, and platelet count. | - |
| RECOMMENDED | PET/CT date pet_ct_date
| radiologist | Shows whether baseline staging is recent enough for treatment planning and later response comparison. | Document baseline PET/CT date or explain alternative staging modality. | - |
