The methods of the invention (and likewise the dosage regimen of the invention) are also suitable for treating B cell (CD20-positive) cancer in a human patient, or for ameliorating and/or preventing a medical condition mediated by the periodic or continued administration of a CD3×CD20 bispecific antibody to a human patient. The present invention also relates to the use of a CD3×CD20 bispecific antibody for the preparation of a pharmaceutical composition to be used in a method or treatment regime as defined in any one of the preceding claims.
