Filter by:Vitiligo is a common acquired depigmentation skin and mucosal disease in dermatology, with or without white hair. Vitiligo with white hair is difficult to treat. Phototherapy and topical therapy are the first line treatment methods for vitiligo. The peripheral leukoplakia irradiation of phototherapy covers the central area of the leukoplakia and performs phototherapy on the edge of the leukoplakia and surrounding normal skin. This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of peripheral leukoplakia ultraviolet family phototherapy and leukoplakia family combination in the treatment of vitiligo.
Insulin like growth factor has a protective role on melanocytes against the oxidative stress. The aim is to investigate this effect in vitiligo patients.
An open-label study in which participants with non-segmental vitiligo with genital involvement will apply ruxolitinib 1.5% cream twice a day (BID) to all depigmented areas (up to 10% BSA) for up to 48 weeks. Participants should continue to treat depigmented areas identified for treatment at baseline regardless of whether the area begins to improve or fully repigment.
Assessing the level of circulating TCMs (cluster of differentiation (CD) 8+, CD3+,C- chemokine receptor (CCR)7, cluster of differentiation 45 receptor (CD45R) cells) in early localized vitiligo cases prior to treatment and after treatment in comparison to healthy controls. This, in turn, would provide insights regarding the role of TCMs in vitiligo and the role of early treatment in halting disease progression and autoimmune memory formation that accounts for high recurrence rate of vitiligo
Vitiligo is an acquired autoimmune skin disorder which leads to cutaneous depigmentations. A lot of progress has been made to unravel the pathophysiology of vitiligo. Several independent studies confirmed the elevated values of IL-17 in the serum of vitiligo patients and higher IL-17 values have been linked to a higher affected body surface area and a longer disease duration. The study will be a pilot trial with secukinumab in patients with active, non-segmental vitiligo. All patients will receive the active compound (= no placebo arm) as the purpose of the study is to investigate the potential efficacy of secukinumab in vitiligo.
To collect, preserve, and/or distribute annotated biospecimens and associated medical data to institutionally approved, investigator-directed biomedical research to discover and develop new treatments, diagnostics, and preventative methods for specific and complex conditions.
Metformin modulates metabolism in multiple cell types and is currently used to reduce glucose levels and insulin resistance in diabetic patients. The investigators hypothesize that oral metformin can regulate the metabolism of CD8+ T cells, reduce their cytotoxic activity and thus serve as a novel treatment for vitiligo.

Vitiligo is a skin disorder that causes substantial social and psychological distress due to multiple patches of depigmentation.Disease can target at any age, but it appears to affect various parts of body due to loss of melanin. Although the exact cause of the disease is unknown, several theories suggest that genetic predisposition, autoimmunity, and increased vulnerability of melanocytes to the deleterious effects of harmful metabolites all play a role in disease causation. It impacts 0.1%-2% of the general population, with a 30% familial prevalence rate. Vitiligo treatment still presents a therapeutic challenge for dermatologists despite a variety of therapeutic modalities. Topical steroids, ultraviolet B phototherapy (UVB 280nm-320nm), and photochemotherapy (PUVA i.e., psoralen plus UVA 329nm-400nm) are traditional treatment options. Topical calcipotriol and excimer laser are also used. According to research, narrowband UVB (NB-UVB) is effective when used alone. Few studies, however also, have reported more than 75% re-pigmentation in patients treated with NB-UVB in conjunction with other modalities. Topical immunomodulators (tacrolimus, pimecrolimus) are considered safe and effective long-term treatments for vitiligo because they do not cause skin atrophy, which is associated with long-term use of topical corticosteroids. Tacrolimus is an effective treatment for vitiligo when used alone; in one study, 61% of patients showed more than 75% repigmentation when treated with tacrolimus alone. Another study found that when tacrolimus was combined with NB-UVB, 73% of patients experienced more than 50% repigmentation. The objective of this research was to present a comparatively new mode of treatment that may be beneficial to vitiligo patients.
