Hydroxychloroquine: A chemotherapeutic agent that acts against erythrocytic forms of malarial parasites. Hydroxychloroquine appears to concentrate in food vacuoles of affected protozoa. It inhibits plasmodial heme polymerase. (From Gilman et al., Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 9th ed, p970)
hydroxychloroquine : An aminoquinoline that is chloroquine in which one of the N-ethyl groups is hydroxylated at position 2. An antimalarial with properties similar to chloroquine that acts against erythrocytic forms of malarial parasites, it is mainly used as the sulfate salt for the treatment of lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and light-sensitive skin eruptions.

Diarrhea: An increased liquidity or decreased consistency of FECES, such as running stool. Fecal consistency is related to the ratio of water-holding capacity of insoluble solids to total water, rather than the amount of water present. Diarrhea is not hyperdefecation or increased fecal weight.

Safety of Combination Therapy With Sirolimus and Hydroxychloroquine in LAM Patients

"The Primary endpoint of this study was safety. Safety was assessed based on the adverse events and serious adverse events that occurred in these patients when they were on this combination therapy. Percentage of adverse events in each system at a dose was calculated from the total adverse events at that dose. Subjects were closely monitored and adverse events were classified and graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, (CTCAE) Version 4.0." (NCT01687179)
