OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to describe the efficacy of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in patients with oral lichen planus (OLP) refractory to conventional therapy.
STUDY DESIGN: In this single-center retrospective study, patients were prescribed HCQ 200 mg twice daily. Pain, reticulation, erythema, and ulceration scores were recorded. Two-sample and paired t tests were used to evaluate mean and paired pain scores and paired t test to determine substantial differences in paired REU scores, at HCQ initiation visit and final follow-up at 12 to 24 months.
RESULTS: Thirty-six patients (69.4% female) with a median age of 70 ± 12.0 (range 48-99) were initiated on HCQ. Only 30 patients were evaluable because pruritus developed in 5 patients (13.9%) and gastrointestinal symptoms in 1 (2.8%). The mean follow-up was 23.2 months (range 1-74). In 19 patients, there was a significant decline in the worst pain score from a mean of 3.9 (SD± 2.8, n = 19) to 1.9 (SD ± 2.4, n = 19) (t = 2.837, P < .006). Paired reticulation, erythema, and ulceration (REU scores) decreased from a weighted mean score of 16.0 (SD ± 8.0, n = 12) to 12.0 (SD ± 6.3, n = 12) (t = 2.07, P < .032).
CONCLUSION: Hydroxychloroquine was a suitable option and effective in reducing symptoms and disease severity in patients with recalcitrant OLP who do not adequately respond to standard therapy.
