Two medicines, hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and methotrexate (MTX), are often used to treat FFA, but it is not yet clear which treatment works better. This study aims to compare the effects of HCQ and MTX in everyday clinical care.\n\nAdults with FFA who choose to start either HCQ or MTX and will be followed for up to 48 weeks.\n\nThe main goal is to see how well each medicine helps reduce disease activity, measured by a tool called the Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia Severity Score (FFASS) after 6 months. At each clinic visit, participants will also complete short questionnaires about symptoms, quality of life, and general well-being.\n\nBy collecting this information, the study hopes to provide better evidence about how well HCQ and MTX work for FFA, which may help guide future treatment recommendations.",[24,25],"Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia","Cicatricial Alopecia",[27,28,29,30,31,32,33],"Frontal fibrosing alopecia","FFA","Cicatricial alopecia","Scarring alopecia","Hair disease","hydroxychloroquine","methotrexate","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2025-09-26",{"date":37,"type":38},"2025-09-29","ACTUAL",{"date":40,"type":20},"2025-11",{"date":42,"type":20},"2027-05",{"name":44,"class":45},"Erasmus Medical Center","OTHER",1,{"id":48,"slug":49,"hasResults":11,"nctId":50,"briefTitle":51,"officialTitle":51,"acronym":52,"eligibilityCriteria":53,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":16,"minAge":17,"maxAge":54,"enrollmentInfo":55,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":21,"phases":4,"briefSummary":57,"conditions":58,"keywords":60,"overallStatus":64,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":65,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":66,"startDateStruct":68,"completionDateStruct":70,"leadSponsor":72,"locationsCount":46},"100555489","the-effectiveness-of-hydroxychloroquine-versus-methotrexate-in-the-treatment-of-lichen-planopilaris-in-routine-clinical-care-a-patient-preference-trial-100555489","NCT06512753","The Effectiveness of Hydroxychloroquine Versus Methotrexate in the Treatment of Lichen Planopilaris in Routine Clinical Care: a Patient Preference Trial","HEMLET","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age of 18 years and older.\n* Diagnosed with LPP.\n* Willingness to provide informed consent for participation in the study.\n* No contraindications or known allergies to HCQ or MTX.\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Histopathological different diagnosis than LPP.\n* Inability to adhere to the study protocol, including medication intake, clinic visits, and questionnaire completion.\n* Patients who are ineligible for the HCQ arm (due to contraindications), are automatically included in the MTX arm.\n* Contraindications HCQ:\n\nretinopathy and\u002For maculopathy\n\nmyasthenia gravis\n\nbody weight less than 35 kg\n\nPatients who are ineligible for the MTX arm (due to contraindications), are automatically included in the HCQ arm.\n\n\\- Contraindications MTX:\n\nConception (both male and female) and lactation\n\nSevere kidney or liver dysfunction (fibrosis, cirrhosis) or alcohol abuse\n\nBone marrow hypoplasia, immunodeficiency\n\nAnemia, leukopenia, or thrombocytopenia\n\nPoor nutritional status (low albumin)\n\nHypersensitivity or allergy to MTX\n\nLung toxicity due to MTX or significant reduction in lung function.","80 Years",{"count":56,"type":20},56,"Rationale Lichen planopilaris (LPP) is a prevalent form of cicatricial alopecia, predominantly affecting women and causing irreversible hair loss.

They will not be randomized. The primary endpoint is the measurement of the Lichen Planopilaris Activity Index (LPPAI) at the 6-months, providing a quantitative assessment of the disease's activity and response to the selected treatment. The Skindex-29 questionnaire will be conducted at each visit, allowing evaluation of the impact on patients' quality of life.",[59,25],"Lichen Planopilaris",[61,29,62,63],"Lichen planopilaris","Hydroxychloroquine","Methotrexate","RECRUITING","2024-07-16",{"date":67,"type":38},"2024-07-22",{"date":69,"type":38},"2024-07-01",{"date":71,"type":20},"2026-07-01",{"name":44,"class":45}]
