About this study

Official title: Phase I-II, Randomized, Intraindividually Placebo Controlled Clinical Trial, to Evaluate the Efficacy of Autologous Melanocyte Transplantion on Amniotic Membrane as a Substrate for Patients With Stable Vitiligo.

Vitiligo is an acquired skin disease that significantly impacts the quality of life of patients. Medical treatment of vitiligo includes the use of melanocyte transplantation but the results are variable.

This single center, single blind clinical trial comparing another treatment and also no treatment was designed to assess the efficacy of autologous monocyte transplantation in monolayers on a substrate of amniotic membrane for the treatment of stable vitiligo. Patients will receive the two interventions, melanocyte suspension and monolayer on amniotic membrane and will provide an untreated area as a control.

Read the detailed description

Main Objective:

The main objective is to assess the efficacy of autologous transplantation of monocytes in monolayers grown on a biological substrate of amniotic membrane in the treatment of stable vitiligo. Using a system of digital imaging analysis the percentage of re-pigmentation obtained will be studied after 3, 6 and 9 months of treatment.

Secondary Objectives:

To demonstrate differences in efficacy (as measured by the percentage of re-pigmentation) of each of the 2 techniques used: pure melanocytes in suspension and amniotic membrane with melanocytes in monolayers.

To assess how rapidly epithelialization occurs and the cosmetic result in the short and long term of the areas treated with each of the techniques.

To assess if de-epidermization with CO2 laser may be by itself a stimulus for the reservoir of melanocytes in the adjacent epidermis or hair follicles or if the re-pigmentation obtained with this procedure is merely postinflammatory as a result of trauma to the epidermis.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Laser CO2 in people with Stable Vitiligo, run by Clinica Universidad de Navarra, Universidad de Navarra at 1 site in Spain.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Oct 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Efficacy of Autologous Melanocyte Transplantion on Amniotic Membrane as a Substrate for Patients With Stable Vitiligo (time frame: six months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01701648, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Oct 2013.
