Rituxan (rituximab) is indeed used to treat various conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis and Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM). While Rituxan is not specifically mentioned in my knowledge base, it is known to be a common treatment for WM.

For your conditions:
- Rheumatoid Arthritis: Rituxan is used to reduce inflammation and slow disease progression.
- Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia: Rituxan targets specific proteins on cancer cells to help control the disease.
- MGUS (Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance): This condition can sometimes progress to WM, and treatments like Rituxan may be considered if progression occurs.
- Antiphospholipid Syndrome: This condition is typically managed with anticoagulants, but Rituxan is not a standard treatment.
