What is being measured

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

  1. serum TWEAK in vitiligo

    measurement of serum Tumor necrosis factor weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK)"pg/ml"; in vitiligo patients before and after treatment with NB-UVB, Latanoprost and their combination, all in comparison with healthy individuals, using ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay)

    Measured: 3months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. treatment of vitiligo

    clinical evaluation: Assessment of the disease severity in non-segmental vitiligo will be performed by using vitiligo area severity index (VASI score) before and after treatment with NB-UVB, latanoprost application applied after microneedling, by using 1.5-2 mm needle length dermapen, of vitiligenous patches, or combination of both of them. Patients will be photographed at baseline and after 3 months of regular treatment by using high resolution digital camera conon EOS 1300D 18 megapixels (made in Taiwan), photography will be done in standard light and distance.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing NB-UVB and Latanoprost in people with Non-segmental Vitiligo, run by Shaimaa Fawzy Abdel-rady Abdel-latif at 1 site in Egypt.

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 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Aug 2023. 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 Egypt. 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 phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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

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?

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?

serum TWEAK in vitiligo (time frame: 3months). 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 9 Aug 2023.
