NCT ID NCT07690501
First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether injecting a person's own fat-derived stem cells into stable vitiligo patches, alone or combined with excimer light therapy, can safely bring back skin color. Fifteen adults with stable vitiligo patches will receive the treatment. The goal is to see if the stem cells and light can stop disease activity and promote repigmentation.
