Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Patients will be included in a randomized controlled clinical trial, will enroll only adult vitiligo patients with surface area of at least 10% who are being followed in the outpatient dermatology clinics of King Abdullah University Hospital (KAUH) and are planned to start on phototherapy Narrow Band Ultraviolet light B (NBUVB), regardless if they have previous treatment for their disease, one month wash off period will be given for patients who are already on phototherapy or other treatments for vitiligo.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Patients to be included in this randomized controlled study are adults with generalized vitiligo of surface area of at least 10% who are being followed in the outpatient dermatology clinics of King Abdullah University Hospital (KAUH) and are planned to start on phototherapy Narrow Band Ultraviolet light B (NB-UVB), regardless if they have previous treatment for their disease, one month wash off period will be given for patients who are already on phototherapy or other treatments for vitiligo. In our going study, adult patients will be enrolled into 2 groups ( around 20 patients per each) in which NBUVB will be given 2-3 sessions per week in combination with one of the following randomly; one group will start on Tacrolimus 0.1% ointment twice daily, a second group will start on calcipotriol \& betamethasone containing cream once daily, photos will be taken and the exact sites involved will be detected, efficacy of treatment will be assessed according to repigmentation percentages of vitiligo areas from baseline at 3 and 6 months. The improvement at 6 months compared to baseline will be classified into 5 groups according to the percentage of repigmentation as follow; excellent (76%-100%); moderate (51%-75%); mild (26%-50%); minimal (1%-25%); or no response.
