2025 ACR Lupus Guideline - Overview presented by Dr. Lisa Sammaritano. Key take aways: • HCQ should be standard therapy • Use GC with precision • Introduce immunosuppressive therapies early • Use shared decision-making when considering treatment decisions #ACR25

Why taper to ≤ 5 mg pred/d?
Strong recommendation
GULP study:
127 SLE pts starting pred 25 mg/d
(w/HCQor IS) within 12 mo. of SLEd (2yr f/u)

• No difference in relapse rates (p=0.706) when tapering to <5 mg/d vs. not tapering < 5 mg/day (46.4%).
• Every month on pred <5 mg/day → lower damage accrual (IRR: 0.96; p=0.007)
• Never tapering pred <5 mg/day → higher risk of GC-related damage (OR 5.9;
p=0.014).
•Tapering pred <5 mg/day was achieved + maintained in half of newly diagnosed patients with SLE.

Hydroxychloroquine Recommendations:
• Routinely treat with HCQ unless

contraindicated. (S)
• Continue therapy indefinitely, even if sustained remission. (C)
• Aim for long-term average daily dose goal of ≤5 mg/kg (C)
• Preferred over >5 mg/kg to minimize retinal toxicity
• Use of short courses of higher dose (5-6.5 mg/kg/d) therapy may be necessary at initiation of treatment, to maintain disease control, or during pregnancy.
No recommendation regarding utilization of HCQ levels
S: strong recommendation C: conditional recommendation
