Eye-Saving trial: can elderly lupus patients ditch risky drug?
NCT ID NCT05799378
Summary
This study aims to find out if older adults with stable lupus can safely stop taking hydroxychloroquine, a common lupus medication that can cause permanent eye damage with long-term use. Researchers will follow 330 participants aged 60+ for one year, randomly assigning them to either continue the drug or switch to a placebo, to see if stopping increases the risk of lupus flares. The goal is to balance the drug's benefits against its risks for patients whose disease may be less active.
