Project description:The antimalarial hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) has demonstrated several crucial properties for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Herein, we reviewed the main HCQ pharmacologic features, detailed its mechanism of action, and summarized the existing guidelines and recommendations for HCQ use in rheumatology with a systematic literature search for the randomized controlled trials focused on lupus. HCQ has been shown to decrease SLE activity, especially in mild and moderate disease, to prevent disease flare and to lower the long-term glucocorticoid need. The numerous benefits of HCQ are extended to pregnancy and breastfeeding period. Based on cohort studies, antithrombotic and metabolic HCQ's effects were shown, including lipid-lowering properties, which might contribute to an improved cardiovascular risk. Moreover, early HCQ use in antinuclear antibodies positive individuals might delay the progression to SLE. Finally, HCQ has a significant favorable impact on long-term outcomes such as damage accrual and mortality in SLE. Based on these multiple benefits, HCQ is now the mainstay long-term treatment in SLE, recommended by current guidelines in all patients unless contraindications or side effects. The daily dose associated with the best compromise between efficacy and safety is matter of debate. The concern regarding retinal toxicity rather than proper efficacy data is the one that dictated the daily dosage of ⩽5 mg/kg/day actual body weight currently agreed upon.

Project description:ImportanceSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) predisposes individuals to early cardiovascular (CV) events. While hydroxychloroquine is thought to mitigate CV risk factors, its protective role against CV events, particularly arterial ones, remains to be confirmed.ObjectiveTo evaluate the association between hydroxychloroquine and the risk of myocardial infarction (MI), stroke, and other thromboembolic events (OTEs) in patients with SLE.Design, setting, and participantsThis cohort study using a nested case-control design was conducted within the National French Healthcare Database (SNDS), which represents 99% of the French population, from 2010 to 2020. Participants were the cohort of all patients with SLE recorded in the SNDS. Patients with SLE experiencing CV events during the study period were the case group; those without CV events were controls. The analysis period was from February 2022 to September 2023.ExposuresHydroxychloroquine use within 365 days prior to the index date, defined as current (within 90 days), remote (91-365 days), or no exposure within the previous 365 days.Main outcomes and measuresOutcomes of interest were MI, stroke, and OTE, analyzed individually and as a composite outcome (primary analysis). Controls were matched to patients with CV events by age, sex, time since SLE onset and entry into the SNDS database, index date, prior antithrombotic and CV medication, chronic kidney disease, and hospitalization. Multivariable conditional logistic regression was performed using hydroxychloroquine exposure as the main independent variable.ResultsThe SLE cohort included 52 883 patients (mean [SD] age, 44.23 [16.09] years; 45 255 [86.6%] female; mean [SD] follow-up, 9.01 [2.51] years), including 1981 patients with eligible CV events and 16 892 matched control patients. There were 669 MI events, 916 stroke events, and 696 OTEs in the individual outcome studies. For current exposure to hydroxychloroquine, the adjusted odds were lower for composite CV events (odds ratio [OR], 0.63; 95% CI, 0.57-0.69) as well as for MI (OR, 0.72; 95% CI, 0.60-0.85), stroke (OR, 0.69; 95% CI, 0.60-0.81), and OTEs (OR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.49-0.69) individually compared with no hydroxychloroquine exposure within 365 days.Conclusions and relevanceIn this nationwide cohort study of patients with SLE, a protective association was found between the current use of hydroxychloroquine and the occurrence of CV events, but not between remote use of hydroxychloroquine and CV outcomes, highlighting the value of continuous hydroxychloroquine treatment in patients with SLE.

Project description:Cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality are a challenge in management of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Higher risk of CV disease in SLE patients is mostly related to accelerated atherosclerosis. Nevertheless, high prevalence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors in SLE patients does not fully explain the increased CV risk. Despite the pathological bases of accelerated atherosclerosis are not fully understood, it is thought that this process is driven by the complex interplay between SLE and atherosclerosis pathogenesis. Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is a cornerstone in treatment of SLE patients and has been thought to exert a broad spectrum of beneficial effects on disease activity, prevention of damage accrual, and mortality. Furthermore, HCQ is thought to protect against accelerated atherosclerosis targeting toll-like receptor signaling, cytokine production, T-cell and monocyte activation, oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction. HCQ was also described to have beneficial effects on traditional CV risk factors, such as dyslipidemia and diabetes. In conclusion, despite lacking randomized controlled trials unambiguously proving the protection of HCQ against accelerated atherosclerosis and incidence of CV events in SLE patients, evidence analyzed in this review is in favor of its beneficial effect.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:Baseline retinal examinations have long been recommended for patients beginning treatment with hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), but it is unknown how well this guideline is followed. We investigated baseline eye examinations among US SLE patients enrolled in Medicaid in whom HCQ treatment was newly initiated. METHODS:Using billing codes, we identified SLE patients ages 18-65 years who were enrolled in Medicaid and residing in the 29 most populated US states, from 2000 to 2010. New users of HCQ were identified by filled prescriptions, with none filled in the preceding 12 months. Retinal examinations that were performed within 30 days before to 1 year after the index prescription were identified. We examined the proportions of patients receiving retinal examinations over the study years and compared the characteristics of those who did and those who did not receive examinations, using bivariable and multivariable logistic regression models. RESULTS:Among 12,755 SLE patients newly starting HCQ treatment, 32.5% received baseline dilated eye examinations. The proportions of patients receiving baseline eye examinations did not significantly change from 2000 to 2010 (31.0-34.4%; P for linear trend = 0.12). Factors associated with an increased likelihood of having an examination included female sex, Asian versus white race, and a higher number of laboratory tests performed during the preceding year. Compared with white patients, lower proportions of black and Native American patients with SLE had baseline retinal examinations. CONCLUSION:Only one-third of patients with SLE enrolled in Medicaid and in whom HCQ was newly initiated received the recommended baseline retinal examinations, and this proportion did not significantly increase from 2000 to 2010. The sociodemographic variation in this recommended care has been observed for other recommended medical care in SLE and requires both further investigation and interventions to address it.

Project description:ObjectivesData about hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) levels during pregnancy are sparse. We assessed HCQ whole-blood levels at first trimester of pregnancy as a potential predictor of maternal and obstetric/fetal outcomes in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).MethodsWe included pregnant SLE patients enrolled in the prospective GR2 study receiving HCQ, with at least one available first-trimester whole-blood HCQ assay. We evaluated several cut-offs for HCQ whole-blood levels, including ≤200 ng/ml for severe non-adherence. Primary outcomes were maternal flares during the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, and adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs: fetal/neonatal death, placental insufficiency with preterm delivery, and small-for-gestational-age neonates).ResultsWe included 174 patients (median age: 32.1 years, IQR 28.8-35.2). Thirty (17.2%) patients had flares, four (2.3%) being severe. APOs occurred in 28 patients (16.1%). There were no significant differences in APOs by HCQ level for either those with subtherapeutic HCQ levels (≤500 ng/ml vs >500 ng/ml: 23.5% vs 14.3%, P = 0.19) or those with non-adherent HCQ levels (≤200 ng/ml vs >200 ng/ml: 20.0% vs 15.7%, P = 0.71). Similarly, the overall rate of maternal flares did not differ significantly by HCQ level cut-off, but patients with subtherapeutic (HCQ ≤500 ng/ml: 8.8% vs 0.7%, P = 0.02) and non-adherent HCQ levels (≤200 ng/ml: 13.3% vs 1.3%, P = 0.04) had significantly more severe flares.ConclusionIn this large prospective study of pregnant SLE patients, first-trimester subtherapeutic (≤500 ng/ml) and severe non-adherent (≤200 ng/ml) HCQ levels were associated with severe maternal flares, but not with APOs.Trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov, http://clinicaltrials.gov, NCT02450396.

Project description:ObjectiveHCQ is an essential medication in SLE, proven to lengthen survival and reduce flares. Its use, however, is limited by its rare but severe ophthalmological complications. Here, we aimed to analyse factors associated with HCQ retinopathy including HCQ blood levels.MethodsThis case-control study compared SLE patients with and without HCQ retinopathy, defined by abnormal results for at least two of the following ophthalmological tests: automated visual fields, spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) and fundus autofluorescence. We compared clinical and laboratory findings to assess risk factors for HCQ retinopathy.ResultsThe study included 23 patients with confirmed retinopathy (cases) and 547 controls. In the univariate analysis, age (P < 0.001), height (P = 0.045), creatinine clearance (P < 0.001), haemoglobin concentration (P = 0.01), duration of HCQ intake, (P < 0.001), higher cumulative HCQ dose (P < 0.001) and geographical origin (West Indies and sub-Saharan Africa) (P = 0.007) were associated with the risk of retinopathy, while HCQ blood levels were not. In the multivariate analysis, only cumulative dose (P = 0.016), duration of intake (P = 0.039), creatinine clearance (P = 0.002) and geographical origin (P < 0.0001, odds ratio 8.7) remained significantly associated with retinopathy.ConclusionSLE patients on HCQ should be closely monitored for retinopathy, especially those from the West Indies or sub-Saharan Africa, or with renal insufficiency, longer HCQ intake or a high cumulative dose. Although reducing the daily dose of HCQ in patients with persistently high HCQ blood levels seems logical, these concentrations were not associated with retinopathy in this study with controls adherent to treatment.
