Could a cell secretion boost vitiligo treatment? new study aims to find out.
NCT ID NCT07509242
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding a special cell secretion (called secretome) to standard light therapy helps restore skin color better in people with vitiligo. About 150 adults with stable vitiligo will receive either light therapy alone, or light therapy plus secretome applied through microneedling or injections. The goal is to see which approach leads to more repigmentation, faster results, and fewer side effects over 24 weeks.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Patients with a diagnosis of non-segmental vitiligo (established by a dermatologist). * Age 18-60 years. * Fitzpatrick skin types III-V. * Stable vitiligo lesions for at least 6 months (no new lesions and no lesion expansion \>10% of body surface area within the past 6 months). * Total lesion involvement of 1-20% body surface area (BSA). * Willing to comply with the full course of therapy and all scheduled follow-up visits during the study. * Provision of written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Segmental, universal, or other vitiligo types that are difficult to standardize (e.g., lesions limited to the genital area). * Currently receiving or having received within the past 3 months: * Systemic immunomodulatory or immunosuppressive therapy (e.g., systemic corticosteroids, cyclosporine, methotrexate, JAK inhibitors, etc.). Other phototherapy modalities (e.g., PUVA, excimer laser) within the past 3 months. * History of keloid formation or hypertrophic scarring at the treatment sites. * Active infection at the lesion sites (bacterial, viral, or fungal) or other skin diseases that may interfere with pigmentation assessment. * Pregnancy or breastfeeding. * History of skin cancer, lupus, or other photosensitive disorders. * Severe allergy to secretome components or gel excipients (if known). * Uncontrolled systemic diseases (e.g., heart failure, renal failure, active systemic autoimmune disease) that may compromise follow-up compliance.
