Table 2:

Comparison of response rates for each medication between SCLE and DLE

Medication	Response Type	SCLE	DLE	p-value from Fisher’s exact test^a
MTX		n=18^b	n=13	0.262
	Responders	13 (72%)	6 (46%)
	Non-responders	5 (27%)	7 (54%)
MMF		n=7	n=27	>0.999
	Responders	5 (71%)	19 (70%)
	Non-responders	2 (29%)	8 (30%)

Statistical analysis was performed using Fisher’s exact test 2x2 tables using GraphPad Prism^™ Version 8.4.3.

n values do not include patients who discontinued each medication due to side effects

MTX = methotrexate

MMF = mycophenolate mofetil
