About the same time as the study just discussed, another study was conducted to approach the question of whether yttrium was adding anything to standard therapy. 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

Explanation:
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.

(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.
