NCT ID NCT07187882
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests a procedure where a person's own skin cells are transplanted onto stable white patches caused by vitiligo. The goal is to see how well and how safely it restores color over the long term. The trial will enroll 30 people with stable vitiligo who have not responded to other treatments.
