Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of autologous epidermal cells suspension grafting using a newly developed device named VITICELL® compared to placebo.

The secondary objective is to evaluate safety of VITICELL® and global satisfaction of patient and investigator.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: VITICELL

In this arm, lesions will be treated by autologous epidermal cells suspension (containing hyaluronic acid) obtained after VITICELL kit's use, a class III medical device.

Device: VITICELL
graft of autologus cells (kaeratonicytes and melanocytes) obtained after trypsinization of thin skin biopsy resuspended into hyaluronic acid

Placebo Comparator: PLACEBO

In this arm, lesions will be treated by a suspension of hyaluronic acid without epidermal cells.

Device: PLACEBO
hyaluronic acid alone

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Rate of successful repigmentation [at month 6]

    succesful repigementation define as more than or equal to 50% repigmentation of the treated area

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Rate of successful repigmentation [at month 12]

    succesful repigementation define as more than or equal to 50% repigmentation of the treated area

Other Outcome Measures

  1. Number of adverse events in each group [Day 0/Day 6-7/Month 3/6/9/12]

  2. Mean reduction of treated area [Month 3/6/9/12]

    calculated in pourcentage from baseline

  3. Variation of area size [Day 0/Month 3/6/9/12]

    Size in cm² measured at each visit

  4. Patient and physician satisfaction [Month12]

    Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5 (1=Not at all satisfied / 2=Slightly satisfied / 3=Moderately satisfied / 4=Very satisfied / 5=Extremely satisfied).

Eligibility Criteria

Criteria

Ages Eligible for Study:
18 Years and Older
Sexes Eligible for Study:
All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
No
Inclusion Criteria:
  • Men and women aged over 18 years old with a diagnosis of non-scaring leukoderma that has been stable over the last 2 years (non-segmental, segmental vitiligo and piebaldism)

  • For non-segmental vitiligo: symmetrical vitiligo lesions, or parts of a lesion. A part of at least 1 cm2 (1 x 1 cm), but preferable 4 cm2 (2x2 cm) and preferably in the center of each lesions (left/right) should be treated.

The minimum distance between the normal pigmented skin and the test area should preferably be at least 0.5 cm.

  • For segmental vitiligo lesion and piebaldism: all lesions possible if two parts of at least 1 cm2 (1 x 1 cm), but preferably 4 cm2 (2 x 2 cm) in the lesion can be treated. The minimum distance between the 2 areas should be 2 cm and between test areas and to the normal pigmented skin preferably at least 0.5 cm.

  • Medical treatments of vitiligo failed (in case of vitiligo: at least cream treatment for 6 months).

  • Absence of infected lesion

  • Negative serology (HIV-hepatitis B and C- Syphilis)

  • Without treatment one month for cream and 3 months for phototherapy

Exclusion Criteria:
  • Hypersensibility to local anaesthetics or one of the components of the device (trypsin, hyaluronic acid)

  • Indication against biopsies

  • Patient with a history of melanoma

  • Positive serology (ongoing serious systemic disease, herpes, HIV, hepatitis B and C-Syphilis)

  • Positive pregnancy test

  • History of keloidal scars and presence of Koebner's phenomenon (type 1 and type 2b)

  • Infected lesion

  • Test areas not on fingers and toes vitiligo areas in case of non-segmental vitiligo

  • Test areas not on facial non segmental vitiligo

  • Pregnant women, or lactating

  • Age <18years

  • Major deprived of their freedom by administrative or legal decision, or being the subject of a legal protection measure, or out of state to express their consent
