Hydroxychloroquine
Hydroxychloroquine will be administered as a once daily dose of 200 or 400 mg, based on the patient's weight. Treatment will be for 96 weeks. Hydroxychloroquine: Hydroxychloroquine is classified as an anti-malarial and it is has immunomodulatory functions that make it useful for treatment of autoimmune disorders including systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.
Placebo Oral Capsule
Placebo will be administered as one or two capsules as a single daily dose, based on the patient's weight. Treatment will be for 96 weeks. Placebo Oral Capsule: An oral capsule placebo is made to match the active intervention medication hydroxychloroquine.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Measured at baseline and final visit up to 96 weeks.

Population: Only patients who completed or who had a defined final visit are included. Samples were measured at baseline and last visit.

Fluorescence intensity of Autoantibodies will be measured using a slide array. Minimum score is 0.1 Maximum score \>100 A higher score indicates higher level of the autoantibody being measured.

Measure
Hydroxychloroquine
n=74 Participants
Hydroxychloroquine will be administered as a once daily dose of 200 or 400 mg, based on the patient's weight. Treatment will be for 96 weeks. Hydroxychloroquine: Hydroxychloroquine is classified as an anti-malarial and it is has immunomodulatory functions that make it useful for treatment of autoimmune disorders including systemic lupus erythematosus and rheumatoid arthritis.
Placebo Oral Capsule
n=78 Participants
Placebo will be administered as one or two capsules as a single daily dose, based on the patient's weight. Treatment will be for 96 weeks. Placebo Oral Capsule: An oral capsule placebo is made to match the active intervention medication hydroxychloroquine.
