Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 60 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Study population: We recruited patients with clinically diagnosed vitiligo and age- and sex-matched healthy volunteers.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients diagnosed as vitiligo by a dermatologist based on a combination of clinical manifestations (milky white or porcelain white patches), Wood's Lamp test results (bright white fluorescence), and histopathologic test results (reduction or disappearance of epidermal melanocytes in the white patches);

  • Stable vital signs;
  • Study subjects voluntarily signed an informed consent form.

Who cannot join

  • Subjects who have been systematically using glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants, etc. that affect glycolipid levels due to a combination of diseases other than metabolic diseases in the last 3 months shall be asked and determined by a clinician;
  • Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding shall be asked and determined by a clinician;
  • Subjects who suffer from psychiatric disorders, etc. and who are not capable of cooperating with the follow-up study shall be asked and determined by a clinician.

About this study

Official title: Association of Glucose and Lipid Metabolism Levels and Vitiligo : a Case-control Study

The goal of this observational study is to compare serum glucose and lipid metabolism levels between health volunteers and vitiligo patients. The main question it aims to answer is whether vitiligo is related to glucose and lipid metabolism disorders. Participants will complete a vitiligo questionnaire and test serum levels of indicators related to glucose and lipid metabolism. Researchers will compare vitiligo patients with healthy volunteers to see if there is a correlation between vitiligo and disorders of glucose and lipid metabolism.

Read the detailed description

Vitiligo is a common autoimmune skin disease, which causes white spot formation due to destruction of epidermal melanocytes, severely affecting the physical and mental health of patients, but treatment is extremely difficult due to unclear pathogenesis. Studies have reported that patients with type I diabetes mellitus combined with vitiligo, the risk of metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, elevated lipids, and obesity in vitiligo patients is higher than that of healthy controls, and other studies have reported that vitiligo lesions in patients with hypercholesterolemia combined with vitiligo treated with simvastatin get rapid skin color, suggesting that there is a correlation between glucose and lipid metabolism and the vitiligo disease, but as of now there is no research study on the correlation of glucose and lipid metabolism and vitiligo pathogenesis, much less large data can be analyzed for reference. Therefore, there is an urgent need to study the metabolic profile of vitiligo patients and utilize the basic research platform to explore the role of abnormal body metabolism in the onset or progression of vitiligo.

This study intends to conduct a cross-sectional study, using questionnaires to collect and register vitiligo patients' disease information, etc., to establish a database of study subjects, and to collect peripheral blood samples from vitiligo patients to test the levels of key indicators of glycolipid and lipid metabolism, and to analyze their correlation with clinical features, disease activity, and treatment of vitiligo. Through the above studies, clinical evidence for the involvement of abnormalities in glycolipid and lipid metabolism in the development of vitiligo was provided.

What is being measured

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

  1. Demographic and epidemiological information of the study subjects

    Detailed records of demographic information (age, gender, occupation, education degree, life history, et al.), clinical information of vitiligo (age at onset, duration, severity, type, treatment, complication, et al.) and physical examination index (height, weight, blood pressure, heart rate).

    Measured: 2020.02.01-2023.03.25

  2. Serum glucose and lipid metabolism levels of the study subjects

    Detection of fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoproteins, and low-density lipoproteins in peripheral blood of study subjects.

    Measured: 2020.02.01-2023.03.25

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Metabolism Disorder, Glucose and Metabolism Disorder, Lipid, run by Xijing Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 4 inclusion and 3 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 1 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 China. 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?

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?

Demographic and epidemiological information of the study subjects (time frame: 2020.02.01-2023.03.25). 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 1 Aug 2023.
