Testing delgocitinib cream for patients with vitiligo on the face

2 1 1 1

What is this study about?

This study is looking at a condition called vitiligo, which is a skin disorder where patches of skin lose their natural color and become white. The study focuses specifically on vitiligo that affects the face. The treatment being tested is a cream called Anzupgo, which contains an active ingredient named delgocitinib. This cream is applied directly to the skin in the areas affected by vitiligo.

The purpose of this study is to find out whether delgocitinib cream could be a helpful treatment for people who have non-segmental vitiligo on their face. Non-segmental vitiligo means the white patches appear on both sides of the body rather than just one side. During the study, participants will apply the cream to their facial vitiligo patches for a period of 24 weeks. The study will measure changes in the amount and appearance of the white patches on the face and other parts of the body at different time points, including after 4 weeks, 12 weeks, and 24 weeks of treatment.

Throughout the study, doctors will check how well the treatment works by examining the size and severity of the vitiligo patches. They will also ask participants questions about how vitiligo affects their daily life and overall well-being. The study will monitor any unwanted effects that might occur during treatment. Some participants may have small skin samples taken at the beginning of the study and during treatment to help researchers understand how the cream works on the skin.

1 Initial treatment phase

Upon joining the trial, you will begin applying delgocitinib cream (also known as Anzupgo 20 mg/g cream) to the vitiligo patches on your face.

The cream is applied directly to the skin in the affected facial areas.

You will continue this treatment throughout the trial period.

2 Week 4 assessment

At week 4, you will attend a visit where assessments will be performed.

The extent of vitiligo on your face and body will be measured.

You will be asked to complete questionnaires about your quality of life and well-being.

A skin sample may be collected for laboratory analysis if changes in your facial vitiligo are observed.

3 Week 12 assessment

At week 12, you will attend another visit for assessments.

The extent of vitiligo on your face and body will be measured again.

You will complete questionnaires about your quality of life and well-being.

Any side effects or adverse reactions will be recorded.

4 Week 24 final assessment

At week 24, you will attend the final visit of the trial.

The extent of vitiligo on your face and body will be measured for the last time.

You will complete final questionnaires about your quality of life and well-being.

A skin sample may be collected for laboratory analysis if changes in your facial vitiligo are observed.

All side effects and adverse reactions throughout the trial will be reviewed.

This visit marks the completion of your participation in the trial.

Trial locations

Delgocitinib is a cream that is applied directly to the skin. In this trial, it is being tested to see if it can help treat vitiligo, a condition that causes loss of skin color in patches, specifically on the face. The medication works by affecting certain processes in the immune system that may be involved in causing vitiligo.

Investigated diseases:

Vitiligo – Vitiligo is a skin condition in which patches of skin lose their natural color and become white. This happens because the cells that produce skin pigment, called melanocytes, are destroyed or stop functioning. The white patches can appear anywhere on the body but are most noticeable on sun-exposed areas like the face, hands, and arms. Non-segmental vitiligo is the most common form, where white patches typically appear on both sides of the body in a symmetrical pattern. The condition can start at any age and may slowly spread over time. The patches do not cause physical discomfort but can affect a person’s appearance and emotional well-being.
