Summary
This study looks at whether people aged 60 and older with stable lupus can safely stop taking hydroxychloroquine, a common medication that can cause eye damage over time. About 330 participants will either continue the drug or switch to a placebo and be monitored for one year. The goal is to see if stopping the drug leads to disease flares, helping doctors balance the risks of eye side effects against lupus symptoms.
