For Industry | The Simplest Way to Recruit for Vitiligo Clinical Trials

At VRF, we believe every vitiligo patient deserves the chance to participate in life-changing clinical trials. For those who haven’t found success with common—and often off-label—treatments, cutting-edge research may offer the best hope.

Unfortunately, complex processes and medical jargon often exclude patients from these opportunities. We’ve seen it firsthand—despite our efforts, connecting investigators with participants remains a challenge. Meanwhile, researchers face an uphill battle, with nearly 80% of clinical trials delayed due to insufficient patient recruitment.

We’re bridging this gap by building the most patient-friendly platform for clinical trials. By leveraging digital channels, we’re tapping into a broader, more diverse patient pool, while our AI-driven patient engagement tools maximize efficiency. This streamlined approach makes it simpler for patients to discover and evaluate novel therapies, offering a renewed sense of hope and reducing the time it takes for breakthrough treatments to reach approval.
