Blood-cell mitochondria study in vitiligo
Official title: Assessment of Circulating Fubctional Mitochondrias in Vitiligo Patients as Compared to Controls
Status: Closed to new participants
Description:
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice enrolled about 59 participants. This study measures how mitochondria, the energy-producing parts of cells, behave in people with vitiligo. The findings may reveal a biological marker or future treatment target, but participants do not receive an experimental vitiligo drug. Participation risks are mainly those of a blood draw, such as brief pain, bruising, dizziness, or rarely infection. People ages 18 to 80 may qualify. The study is underway but is no longer accepting new participants.
Start date: October 19, 2022
