What participants receive

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

  • VITICELLDevice

    graft of autologus cells (kaeratonicytes and melanocytes) obtained after trypsinization of thin skin biopsy resuspended into hyaluronic acid

  • PLACEBODevice

    hyaluronic acid alone

Study groups in NCT02156427
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
VITICELLExperimentalIn this arm, lesions will be treated by autologous epidermal cells suspension (containing hyaluronic acid) obtained after VITICELL kit's use, a class III medical device.
Receives: Device: VITICELL
PLACEBOPlacebo comparatorIn this arm, lesions will be treated by a suspension of hyaluronic acid without epidermal cells.
Receives: Device: PLACEBO

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of successful repigmentation

    succesful repigementation define as more than or equal to 50% repigmentation of the treated area

    Measured: at month 6

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Rate of successful repigmentation

    succesful repigementation define as more than or equal to 50% repigmentation of the treated area

    Measured: at month 12

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing VITICELL in people with Vitiligo and Piebaldism, run by Laboratoires Genévrier at 5 sites in 3 countries.

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 8 inclusion and 12 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 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites in France, Belgium, Italy. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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?

Rate of successful repigmentation (time frame: at month 6). 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 14 Oct 2019.
