New cream aims to stop vitiligo relapse after repigmentation
NCT ID NCT06446063
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tested a cosmetic cream called RV5098A to see if it could help adults with vitiligo keep their facial pigmentation after successful repigmentation treatment. Vitiligo causes white patches on the skin, and even after treatment, about 40% of people lose color again within a year. The study enrolled 19 participants who applied the cream twice daily to their entire face. However, the trial was terminated early, so we have limited data on whether it works.
