    Chloroquine Is Effective for Maintenance of Remission in Autoimmune Hepatitis: Controlled, Double-Blind, Randomized Trial
    (2019) TERRABUIO, Debora Raquel Benedita; DINIZ, Marcio Augusto; FALCAO, Lydia Teofilo de Moraes; GUEDES, Ana Luiza Vilar; NAKANO, Larissa Akeme; EVANGELISTA, Andreia Silva; LIMA, Fabiana Roberto; ABRANTES-LEMOS, Clarice Pires; CARRILHO, Flair Jose; CANCADO, Eduardo Luiz Rachid
    Between 50% and 86% of patients with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) relapse after immunosuppression withdrawal; long-term immunosuppression is associated with increased risk of neoplasias and infections. Chloroquine diphosphate (CQ) is an immunomodulatory drug that reduces the risk of flares in rheumatologic diseases. Our aims were to investigate the efficacy and safety of CQ for maintenance of biochemical remission of AIH in a double-blind randomized trial and to define a subgroup that obtained a greater benefit from its use. A total of 61 patients with AIH in histologic remission (90.1% AIH type 1 [AIH-1]) were randomized to receive CQ 250 mg/day or placebo for 36 months. Of the 61 patients, 31 received CQ and 30 placebo. At baseline, clinical, laboratory, histologic findings, and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) profile were similar between the two groups. Relapse-free survival was significantly higher in the CQ group compared to the placebo group (59.3% and 19.9%, respectively P = 0.039). For those patients completing 3-year treatment, relapse rates were 41.6% and 0% after CQ and placebo withdrawal, respectively. Factors associated with a higher risk of relapse in multiple Cox regression were placebo use (hazard ratio, 2.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.055.5; P = 0.039) and anti-soluble liver antigen/liver-pancreas (anti-SLA/LP) seropositivity (hazard ratio, 5.4; 95% CI, 1.91-15.3; P = 0.002). Although it was not possible to define a subgroup that obtained a greater benefit from CQ according to anti-SLA/LP reactivity or HLA profile, 100% of patients who were anti-SLA/LP-positive (+) relapsed with placebo compared to 50% with CQ (P = 0.055). In the CQgroup, 54.8% had side effects and 19.3% interrupted the drug regimen. Conclusion: CQ safely reduced the risk of relapse of AIH, but it was not possible to define a subgroup that obtained a greater benefit with CQ use, probably because of sample size.

    Efficacy and safety of chloroquine plus prednisone for the treatment of autoimmune hepatitis in a randomized trial
    (2020) FALCAO, Lydia T. de Moraes; TERRABUIO, Debora R. B.; DINIZ, Marcio A.; EVANGELISTA, Andreia da Silva; SOUZA, Fabricio G.; CANCADO, Eduardo L. R.
    Background and Aim Standard treatment for autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) consists of predniso(lo)ne and azathioprine. However, alternative therapy is required for non- or partial responders and in cases of side effects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the treatment outcomes associated with chloroquine plus prednisone in AIH patients. Methods Fifty-seven patients were recruited to receive either azathioprine or chloroquine, both with prednisone, in a randomized trial. The primary end-point was complete remission, based on normalization of aminotransferase levels in the first 6 months of treatment plus maintenance for at least 18 months, with minimal or no inflammatory activity in the liver biopsy. Secondary end-points were partial and nonresponse, severe side effects, and treatment withdrawal. Results There were no differences between groups regarding clinical, serological, histological, and treatment characteristics at baseline. There were no significant differences in the biochemical response rate (67.7 vs 53.8%, P = 0.41) or the complete remission rate (32.26 vs 15.38%, P = 0.217). However, despite the long study period, the sample size was smaller than that required for a noninferiority study. The mean prednisone dose was similar in both groups. There was a nonsignificantly higher rate of adverse effects and a tendency toward improvement in glycemic and cholesterol profiles in the chloroquine group (P = 0.09 and P = 0.07, respectively). Conclusions The combination of chloroquine and prednisone exhibited potentially beneficial effects in AIH patients (: NCT02463331).
