Could stem cell exosomes recolor white patches in vitiligo?
NCT ID NCT07519031
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether exosomes from umbilical cord stem cells can safely help restore skin color in adults with vitiligo. 96 participants with active or stable vitiligo will receive either exosome infusions or injections alongside standard light therapy and ointment. The goal is to see if this approach works better than current treatments like steroid pills.
