About this study

Official title: Prospective Open Label Parallel Study Comparing Use of Carbon Dioxide Laser Versus Dermabrasion for Denuding Epithelium and Collagen Dressing Versus Vaseline Impregnated Gauze for the Melanocyte Keratinocyte Transplant Procedure

The purpose of this study is to:

  1. Compare two different techniques in the melanocyte keratinocyte transplant procedure: Use of carbon dioxide laser versus use of dermabrasion
  2. Compare two different dressings in the melanocyte keratinocyte transplant procedure: vaseline impregnated gauze versus collagen dressing
Read the detailed description

The melanocyte keratinocyte transplant procedure (MKTP) has been shown to be effective in treating vitiligo and other conditions with depigmented skin. MKTP involves the transplantation of melanocytes and keratinocytes from normal skin onto the depigmented skin in order to repigment the skin.

Both dermabrasion and carbon dioxide lasers have been used effectively in MKTP to denude the epithelium. This study will compare the efficacy of these two techniques.

The study will also compare the efficacy of two different dressings used in MKTP, vaseline impregnated gauze and collagen dressings.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • MKTP (melanocyte keratinocyte transplant procedure)Procedure or surgery

    Also called MKTP

    Each subject will have the melanocyte keratinocyte transplant procedure on 4 distinct areas using the two different techniques being studied (carbon dioxide laser and dermabrasion) and the two different dressings being studied (vaseline impregnated gauze and collagen dressing).

  • Collagen DressingDevice

    Each subject will have MKTP on 4 distinct areas. Two of these areas will be dressed with a collagen dressing.

  • Vaseline Impregnated GauzeDevice

    Each subject will have MKTP on 4 distinct areas of depigmented skin. Two of these areas will be dressed with vaseline impregnated gauze.

  • Carbon Dioxide LaserDevice

    Also called CO2 laser

    Each subject will have MKTP on 4 distinct areas of depigmented skin. Two of these areas will be de-epithelialized using a carbon dioxide laser.

  • DermabrasionDevice

    Each subject will have MKTP on 4 distinct areas of depigmented skin. Two of these areas will be de-epithelialized using dermabrasion.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Vitiligo Assessment Scoring Index (VASI)

    Assessment of the percentage of repigmentation and color match of the repigmentation.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Time to De-Epithelialization

    Amount of time needed to de-epithelialize the skin using carbon dioxide laser versus dermabrasion

    Measured: Assessed at Visit 1 (Day of Procedure)

  2. Pain Severity Scale

    Assess pain experienced on a severity scale from 0-10 during de-epithelialization with carbon dioxide laser versus dermabrasion, and during dressing application with vaseline impregnated gauze versus collagen dressing.

    Measured: Assessed on Visit 1 (Day of Procedure)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MKTP (melanocyte keratinocyte transplant procedure), Collagen Dressing and Vaseline Impregnated Gauze in people with Vitiligo and Depigmented Scars, run by Henry Ford Health System at 1 site in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Feb 2017. 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 United States. 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Tasneem Mohammad, MD (313-916-6964), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Vitiligo Assessment Scoring Index (VASI) (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 23 Feb 2017.
