Brief Summary:
This example interventional study record describes a randomized Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating investigational Melanotan II (MT-II) as an adjunct to standard NB-UVB phototherapy for repigmentation in adults with stable nonsegmental vitiligo.
Detailed Description:
Vitiligo is characterized by acquired depigmented macules and patches due to the loss of functional melanocytes. Narrowband UV-B (NB-UVB) phototherapy is a common treatment that can promote repigmentation, but responses may be incomplete and can take months. Melanotan II (MT-II) is a synthetic cyclic melanocortin receptor agonist with activity at melanocortin receptors involved in melanogenesis (pigment production). This example trial evaluates the safety and preliminary efficacy of adding investigational MT-II to standardized NB-UVB phototherapy compared with placebo plus NB-UVB in adults with stable nonsegmental vitiligo. Participants are randomized 1:1 and treated for 24 weeks, with standardized digital photography, clinician-rated scoring, and objective colorimetry performed at prespecified visits. Safety monitoring includes adverse event collection, vital signs, and focused skin examinations (including monitoring of nevi). A follow-up visit occurs 4 weeks after the final dose to assess ongoing safety.
