Hydroxychloroquine trial for rare vasculitis halted early
NCT ID NCT04316494
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether hydroxychloroquine, a drug used for lupus and arthritis, could help control ANCA vasculitis—a group of autoimmune diseases that cause blood vessel inflammation. Adults with mild disease activity were randomly assigned to receive hydroxychloroquine or a placebo alongside their usual treatments for one year. The trial was terminated early after enrolling 43 of the planned 76 participants.
