The patients will be continuing their treatment with hydroxychloroquine, possibly associated with low dose corticosteroids.


Description:

open multicenter randomized non-inferiority study, comparing 2 types of therapeutic strategies after 2 years of maintenance treatment: - Group I: Continuation of immunosuppressive therapy with MMF or AZA, with a background therapy with hydroxychloroquine, and possibly low-dose corticosteroids. - Group II: immunosuppressive treatment discontinuation, continuation of hydroxychloroquine, and possibly low-dose corticosteroids (15 mg / day).
