Read the detailed description

This study has as objectives:

Primary objective :

  • Evaluate the percentage of repigmentation observed one month after the end of three months of treatment measured on an objective layer by image analysis;

Secondary objectives:

Evaluate:

  • the percentage of repigmentation observed after one, two and three months of treatment measured on an objective layer by image analysis;
  • the ability of the product to maintain the human body in good condition (cutaneous acceptability) by clinical examination by the dermatologist;
  • Patient satisfaction using a visual analogue scale from 0 to 10.
  • The illustrative effect using standardized photographs;
  • The quantity of product by weighing the tubes.
  • The occurrence of possible adverse effects.

Population:

  • Sexe: female and male;
  • Age: over 18 years old;
  • Patients with stable non-segmental vitiligo lesions (defined as no new lesions or lesions that have been present for at least 3 months, lack of hypochromic margins in Wood's lumen and absence of confetti depigmentation);
  • Patients with 2 to 6 symmetrical lesions (1 to 3 on each side). These lesions (macules) will be treated for a minimum surface of 2 cm² and a maximum surface of 100 cm².
