This study took patients who had undergone Rituxan therapy but had failed it. Failure of Rituxan therapy was defined in two ways: a patient responded, but the response lasted less than six months, or a patient was simply refractory to the therapy.

resistant to
Note: The original text does not appear to have an accent over the i. I think that the word in the original is therefore "refractaria", and not "refractaría." This seems to make more sense, given the context.
re·frac·ta·rio -ria
adj.
(1) [physics] refractory, heat-resistant
(2) [figurative] (opuesto) refractory, resistant

Note: Perhaps you can check the original carefully, to see if the word ending is -ia or -ía, as there is a discrepancy between the way the word appears in the question and in the context sentence you provided.
