New gel shows promise for vitiligo in Mid-Stage trial
NCT ID NCT06790862
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests a gel called SHR0302Base in 155 adults with stable nonsegmental vitiligo. The goal is to see if it can improve skin color on the face and neck by at least 50%. Participants are randomly assigned to get the real gel or a placebo, and neither they nor their doctors know which they receive.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SHR0302Base gel
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this gel could offer a new topical treatment to restore skin color in people with vitiligo, potentially reducing the need for systemic medications.
- What could go wrong
- This is a mid-stage trial with only 155 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The gel may not work better than placebo, and side effects are still being studied.
