Overview

Brief Summary

We investigated the efficacy and safety of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). HCQ was administered to active RA despite conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs for 24 weeks, in addition to prior treatment. The primary endpoint, the proportion of ACR20 achievements at week 24, was significantly higher in HCQ group compared to that of a propensity score matched control group. Neither hydroxychloroquine retinopathy nor any new safety signal was observed.
