BACKGROUND: Minoxidil and the 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (5-ARIs), specifically, dutasteride and finasteride, are usually used to treat pattern hair loss (PHL), but evidence on the relative effectiveness of these drugs is far less for women than men.
AIMS: We performed an age-adjusted network meta-analysis (NMA) to determine the comparative efficacy of monotherapy with the three agents-in any dosage and administrative route-on PHL in adult women.
METHODS: The peer-reviewed literature was systematically reviewed to obtain data for our NMA. The outcome measure for our NMA was "change in total hair density." We referred to "regimen" as an "agent and its dosage;" our Bayesian NMA estimated regimens' surface under the cumulative ranking curve (SUCRA) values and pairwise relative effects.
RESULTS: Our NMA used data from 13 trials-across which the following 10 regimens were identified (in decreasing order of SUCRA): 5 mg/day finasteride for 24 weeks (SUCRA = 95.7%), 5% topical minoxidil solution twice daily for 24 weeks (SUCRA = 89.5%), 1 mg/day minoxidil for 24 weeks (SUCRA = 78.1%), 5% topical minoxidil foam 1 half capful/day for 24 weeks (SUCRA = 66.5%), 3% topical minoxidil solution 1 mL twice daily for 24 weeks (SUCRA = 45.1%), 2% topical minoxidil solution 1 mL twice daily for 24 weeks (SUCRA = 44.6%), 5% topical minoxidil solution 1 mL/day for 24 weeks (SUCRA = 41.7%), 0.25 mg/day minoxidil for 24 weeks (SUCRA = 35.5%), 1.25 mg/day finasteride for 24 weeks (SUCRA = 24.8%) and 1 mg/day finasteride for 24 weeks (SUCRA = 4.3%).
CONCLUSION: Our findings can improve clinical guidelines and help dermatologists manage female PHL more optimally with the available options.
