Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Experimental
"Sirolimus" and "Hydroxychloroquine"
Subjects will take Sirolimus at an initial dose of 2mg followed by dose adjustment to keep Sirolimus trough levels between 5-15ng/ml consistent with the effective dose in the MILES trial. In addition to Sirolimus subjects will receive Hydroxychloroquine at 200 mg daily for 6 months. Once safety is established at the lower dose ("Sirolimus" and "Hydroxychloroquine" 200 mg), subjects enrolled henceforth will receive Sirolimus and Hydroxychloroquine 400 mg (200 mg twice a day) for 6 months.
