Clinical Study for Young Children with Vitiligo: The TRuE-ViP Trial
Are you looking for new treatment options for your child with vitiligo?
The TRuE-ViP Study is a clinical research study testing a new cream that may help children with vitiligo restore their natural skin color. It focuses specifically on younger children – a group often left out, since most approved treatments are for teenagers and adults.
How does it work?
The study cream is designed to calm the immune system in the skin and help pigment return. Children apply it twice a day to areas affected by vitiligo. Over about a year, the research team closely tracks how well it works and how safe it is.
If your child qualifies, the study treatment and all related medical visits are provided at no cost. Families are also compensated for time and travel.
Who can join?
Your child may be eligible if they:
- Are between 2 and 11 years old
- Have nonsegmental vitiligo (the most common type)
- Have vitiligo on their face and at least one other part of their body
The study team will review your child’s situation with you and confirm whether they can take part.
What’s involved?
Families take part for about 14 months and attend around 11 study visits. During this time, your child receives the study cream and medical follow-up at no cost, and you are reimbursed for time and travel.
