13 locations in California and Florida, USA - 11 Oct `23A Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of SCENESSE and NB-UVB Light in Patients With Vitiligo

Official title: A Double-Arm, Open Label, Phase III Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of SCENESSE and Narrow-Band Ultraviolet B (NB-UVB) Light Versus NB-UVB Light Alone in the Treatment of Vitiligo

The Phase 3 CUV105 trial, sponsored by Clinuvel, Inc., evaluates the safety and efficacy of combining SCENESSE (afamelanotide) with NB-UVB phototherapy for generalized vitiligo, focusing on Fitzpatrick skin types IV–VI to address underrepresented populations. The study aims to determine if this combination therapy achieves superior repigmentation outcomes compared to NB-UVB therapy alone.

Key Details:

  • Study Type: Interventional (Clinical Trial)
  • Phase: Phase 3
  • Estimated Enrollment: Not specified
  • Age Range: 12 years and older
  • Duration: Approximately 308 days, including treatment and follow-up periods


Eligibility Criteria:

Inclusion:

  • Individuals aged 12 years or older
  • Confirmed diagnosis of generalized vitiligo with a Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (VASI) of ≥0.3 on the body and face

Exclusion:

  • Pregnant or lactating females
  • Females of childbearing potential not using adequate contraceptive measures
  • History of melanoma or lentigo maligna
  • Presence of skin cancer lesions
  • Severe liver disease or impairment
  • Allergy to afamelanotide or its implant material

Additional Information: Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either NB-UVB light therapy alone or in combination with SCENESSE implants. The study will assess the percentage of patients achieving significant repigmentation, as measured by the VASI scoring system, over the course of the trial.
