Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Mean Change From Baseline in Vitiligo Area Scoring Index Score

    Vitiligo Area Scoring Index score: numeric score that can range from 0 to 100, with higher VASI scores denoting poorer the disease state

    Time frame: Week 24

Secondary outcomes

  1. Mean Change From Baseline in Vitiligo Extent Score (VES) on Clinical Pictures

    The Vitiligo Extent Score (VES) measures the overall vitiligo involvement in the body based on clinical pictures reflecting the natural distribution of the disease across 19 body areas (e.g., face, trunk, arms, legs, hands, axillae, back, gluteal). For each area, one representative image is selected, assigning one of six degrees of involvement (1%, 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%). The total and final score is the sum of the measurements from all areas, calculated using a conversion table available in the online calculator (www.vitiligo-calculator.com), and expressed as the extension of body surface area affected (0-100). Higher scores indicate worse clinical involvement. The VES change from baseline to Week 24 was assessed for the ITT population.

    Time frame: Week 24

  2. Mean Change in Vitiligo Impact Patient Scale

    Subjects will be asked to complete a questionnaire to assess the burden experienced by individuals affected. For each of the statements in the Vitiligo Impact Patient Scale, 7 responses are suggested: always, very often, often, sometimes, rarely, never and not applicable. The individual answered as spontaneously as possible while thinking about their situation over the last 7 days. Summary scores range from 0 to 100. Higher values indicate a worse clinical condition.

    Time frame: Week 24

  3. Physician's Global Assessment Scores

    Description: The investigator will perform an average assessment of all vitiligo lesions. The following scale will be used for the PGA: Score 0= No involvement, Score 1= Limited, Score 2= moderate, Score 3= Extensive or Score 4= Very extensive. Higher values indicate a worse clinical condition. The static Physician's Global Assessment determines vitiligo extend at a single point in time, without taking the baseline disease condition into consideration, in other words, represents the Proportion of subjects achieving a PGA score of "no involvement" (score 0) or "limited extent" (score 1) with at least 2-point reduction from Baseline Week 52.

    Time frame: Week 52

  4. Mean Change From Baseline in Dermatology Life Quality Index

    The DLQI scores are based on the response from the patient. Each question is scored from 0 (not affected at all) to 3 (very much affected). The DLQI is calculated by summing the score of each question resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired OR lower scores indicate better quality of life.

    Time frame: Week 52
