2. Women of childbearing potential with a positive serum or urine pregnancy test or nursing mothers
3. Subjects with history of malignancy (other than non melanoma skin cancer that has been totally excised with no recurrence for two years)
4. Subjects with known contraindications to treatment with rituximab
5. Subjects with haemoglobin < 8.5 g/dL, WBC value of < 3000/mm3 or a platelet count of < 50,000/mm3 that is unlikely to resolve prior to randomisation
6. Subjects with a positive ABO crossmatch with donor
7. Subjects with severe diarrhoea or other gastrointestinal disorders that might interfere with the ability to absorb oral medication and is unlikely to resolve prior to randomisation
8. Subjects participating in another interventional clinical trial or requiring treatment with un-marketed investigational drugs or who would be expected to require other medications prohibited by the protocol
