New pill aims to recolor white patches in vitiligo patients
NCT ID NCT07172347
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new drug called VC005 in 120 adults with non-segmental vitiligo, a condition that causes white patches on the skin. Participants will take either VC005 or a placebo daily for 52 weeks. The main goal is to see if the drug can reduce the size of white patches on the face after 24 weeks.

- VC005 tablets
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could lead to a new treatment option that helps restore skin color in people with vitiligo.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 120 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not work better than placebo, and side effects are still being studied.
