Vitiligo

Brief summary

The CUV105 study will assess the efficacy and safety of afamelanotide and NB-UVB light in patients with vitiligo on the body and face versus NB-UVB light alone.

Interventions

DRUGAfamelanotide and NB-UVB Light

Patients will receive combination of NB-UVB twice weekly and afamelanotide every 3 weeks for 20 weeks.

PROCEDURENB-UVB Light

Patients will receive NB-UVB light twice per week for 20 weeks. Upon study completion, NB-UVB Light Arm participants will have the opportunity to enroll in an open-label extension phase of the study. In this extension phase, participants will undergo the same evaluations and assessments as the ones performed in the main part of the study under Afamelanotide and NB-UVB Light Arm.

* Male and female patients with a confirmed diagnosis of generalized vitiligo with VASI≥3 of the body and VASI on the head and neck ≥0.3 including an F-VASI≥0.1 * Stable or active vitiligo * Aged 12 or more * Fitzpatrick skin types III-VI

Exclusion criteria

* Fitzpatrick skin types I-II * Extensive leukotrichia * Treatment with NB-UVB phototherapy in the last three months prior to study start * Allergy to afamelanotide or the polymer contained in the implant * Any other treatment for vitiligo within 30 days prior to the Screening Visit * History of melanoma or lentigo maligna * History of dysplastic nevus syndrome * Any malignant skin lesions * Presence of severe hepatic disease or hepatic impairment * Female who is pregnant or lactating * Female of child-bearing potential not using adequate contraceptive measures * Sexually active man with a partner of child-bearing potential who is not using adequate contraceptive measures * Use of any prior and concomitant therapy which may interfere with the objective of the study * Extensive tattoos

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percentage of patients achieving T-VASI 50 on the bodyFrom baseline to Day 140Measured using Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (VASI). A decrease in VASI indicates a reduction of the body surface area affected by vitiligo (possible range 1-100).

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Time to onset of repigmentation of faceFrom baseline to first documented occurrence of FVASI25, assessed up to Day 140Measured using F-VASI 25. A decrease in VASI indicates a reduction of the total body surface area affected by vitiligo (possible range 1-100).
Percentage of patients achieving VASI 50 on the faceFrom baseline to Day 140Measured using VASI. A decrease in VASI indicates a reduction of the body surface area affected by vitiligo (possible range 1-100).
Percentage of patients maintaining VASI 50 on body surface area excluding hands and feetFrom Day 140 to 308Measured using VASI. A decrease in VASI indicates a reduction of the body surface area affected by vitiligo (possible range 1-100).
Percentage of patients maintaining VASI 50 on facial lesionsFrom Day 140 to 308Measured using VASI. A decrease in VASI indicates a reduction of the body surface area affected by vitiligo (possible range 1-100).
Time to onset of repigmentation of full bodyFrom baseline to first documented occurrence of TVASI25, assessed up to Day 140Measured using T-VASI 25. A decrease in VASI indicates a reduction of the total body surface area affected by vitiligo (possible range 1-100)
Percentage of patients achieving VASI 25/75/90 on the faceFrom baseline to Day 140Measured using VASI. A decrease in VASI indicates a reduction of the body surface area affected by vitiligo (possible range 1-100).
Percentage change in pigmentation on body surface area measured by the VASI scoring systemFrom baseline to Day 308Measured using VASI. A decrease in VASI indicates a reduction of the body surface area affected by vitiligo (possible range 1-100).
Percentage change in pigmentation on facial surface area measured by the VASI scoring systemFrom baseline to Day 308Measured using VASI. A decrease in VASI indicates a reduction of the body surface area affected by vitiligo (possible range 1-100).
Percentage of patients achieving VASI 25/75/90 on the bodyFrom baseline to Day 140Measured using VASI. A decrease in VASI indicates a reduction of the body surface area affected by vitiligo (possible range 1-100).
