HCQ treatment reduces circulating CitH3 levels in PDAC patients. (a) Patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma were enrolled in a randomized clinical trial of neoadjuvant gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel plus HCQ versus gemcitabine/nab-paclitaxel alone. CitH3 concentration was measured in patient plasma using ELISA and pre treatment (pre-neoadjuvant) versus post treatment (post-neoadjuvant) concentration was compared in the chemotherapy only (n = 26) and the chemotherapy plus HCQtreatment groups (n = 27). There was a significant reduction in CitH3 in patients treated with chemotherapy plus HCQ. (b) Median change of CitH3 levels in the chemotherapy versus chemotherapy + HCQ treatment group demonstrating reduction in CitH3 in the chemotherapy +_HCQ group (P value = 0.01). Whisker bars represent the range of minimum and maximum within each group.
