Sign Up
What happens if I Sign Up? We will match you to a study site in your area that needs participants with Vitiligo or notify you when one becomes available. The study team will then contact you and you may have the opportunity to participate if qualified.
If you think you might like to participate in the Vitiligo Study or would like more information, please enter your information below so we can see if you may qualify and can contact you about the studies. Keep in mind that participation is entirely voluntary. If you do decide to take part in a study, you may change your mind about participating at any time.
About Vitiligo
Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease that occurs when melanocytes – melanin-producing skin cells– are destroyed, which causes the loss of skin color. When this happens, pale patches on the skin start to develop all over the body and, eventually, these patches turn completely white.1,2,3
Those with Vitiligo can develop low self-esteem or poor self-image from concerns about appearance, which can affect their quality of life.3
Symptoms include:1
- Depigmented patches that appear anywhere on the body
- Patches of hair on body turn silver, gray or white
- Patches of skin or mucous membranes that lose color
The Vitiligo Study is researching the effectiveness of a new cell-harvesting device for those with Vitiligo.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a clinical research study?
A Clinical Research Study (also called a clinical trial) is a medical study that helps answer important questions about an investigational drug or device, such as: does it work, or how effective is it compared to another drug/device?
All medications must be tested in clinical research studies before they can be approved by regulatory authorities for doctors to prescribe to patients. Without people taking part in these studies, we would have no new treatments. The volunteers who participate in clinical research studies play a major role in helping to advance medicine.
What can you expect from the Vitiligo study?
The Vitiligo Study will include various visits to a study clinic in your area and follow up phone calls at designated times.
All study-related care is provided at no cost to you. You do not need health insurance to participate.
Compensation will be provided, and travel costs reimbursed. Participation is entirely voluntary. Even if you decide to take part in this study, you can change your mind about participating at any time.
Is there a cost to participate?
There is no cost to participate in the Vitiligo Study. If you qualify, the treatment procedures, study-related tests, assessments, and visits will be provided to you at no cost. You will receive study-related care throughout the study from a team of professional doctors and nurses at no cost to you.
Will I be compensated for time and travel?
Volunteers who take part in the study will receive compensation for time and travel. Travel may also be arranged on behalf of the participant if the study site is too far to travel by car (assessed on a case-by-case basis). Please discuss this with the study team when they contact you.

Study participants will receive all study-related care at no cost. Participants will receive compensation and reimbursement for travel costs.
Who can take part in the Vitiligo Study?
You may be eligible to participate if you:
- Are at least 18 years old
