Official title:
Despite major advances in the understanding of the mechanisms of the disease, the treatment remains challenging. Different treatment strategies could lead to cosmetically acceptable repigmentation (>75%), particularly on face and neck. However, after repigmentation, the risk of relapse is estimated at nearly 40% during the first year after stopping treatment.
To date, long-term management remains a challenge. With their topical product RV5098A adapted for patients with vitiligo, Pierre Fabre Laboratories hypothesize that it could be effective in maintaining pigmentation of previously repigmented lesions in adults with facial vitiligo.
Subjects will be enrolled from the investigator's outpatient's reception and/or from the database of the centre. The subjects corresponding to eligibility criteria may receive a phone call, a letter or an e-mail proposing to participate to the clinical study.
For a complete list of inclusion and exclusion criteria, interested individuals should contact the study team or visit the official page of the clinical trial. Only the research staff can determine if a person fully qualifies for the study.
The VRF will continue to monitor the progress of this trial and provide updates as they become available. We encourage eligible individuals to consider participating in this important research effort to advance vitiligo treatment.
