Trial summary

Vitiligo is a distressing disorder of depigmentation. In spite of multiple successful therapeutic regimens, disease relapse remains a challenge to patients and physicians. Most guidelines consider systemic treatments only in rapidly progressive disease with wider surface areas. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Early Systemic Stabilization Therapy on Recent Onset Localized Non-segmental Vitiligo

Vitiligo is a distressing disorder of depigmentation. In spite of multiple successful therapeutic regimens, disease relapse remains a challenge to patients and physicians. Most guidelines consider systemic treatments only in rapidly progressive disease with wider surface areas. This delay in halting the immune attack, may give the chance for further disease progression as well as establishment of resident memory T cell population predisposing to future disease relapses. The aim of this study was to assess the ability of early systemic therapy of localized (<2% BSA), recent onset (<6 months) vitiligo to control disease activity and minimize the possibility of recurrence.

What is being measured

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

  1. Duration needed to arrest of vitiligo activity

    Time needed for vitiligo patients to stop developing new lesions of vitiligo

    Measured: 6 months

  2. Duration of maintaining vitiligo stability

    Time before any new vitiligo lesions reappear

    Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Vitiligo, run by Cairo University.

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 3 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Sep 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

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?

Duration needed to arrest of vitiligo activity (time frame: 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Sep 2021.
