Brief Summary:

Condition:

Non segmental and active vitiligo of adulthood.

Main objective:

To evaluate the efficacy of a daily treatment with atorvastatin 80mg/d combined to UVB compared to UVB alone in active vitiligo after 6 months of treatment.

Methods:

Prospective interventional bicentric study with evaluation blinded to the treatment received.

Inclusion criteria:

Patients from 18 to 75 year-old with active non segmental vitiligo. Active is defined by the apparition or the modification of vitiligo lesions with the past 3 months and under Wood's lamp examination hypochromic borders and/or spotty depigmentation.

Interventions:

After central randomization

  • Arm A : atorvastatin 40mg/d for 1 months then 80mg/d for 5 months combined with twice weekly narrowband UVB treatment for 6 months.
  • Arm B: with twice weekly narrowband UVB treatment for 6 months.

Evaluation:

Main criteria: Decrease of VASI score expressed in percentage Secondary criteria: Decrease of VETF score expressed in percentage. Variation of PGA and DLQI scores. Clinical and biological tolerance. Variation of CXCL10 levels in the serum.

Length of the study:

Inclusion period: 12 months. Length of treatment: 6 months. Statistical analyses and drafting the article: 6 months. Total length: 24 months.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: UVB + treatement
The patients will be treated with the combination of oral atorvastatin and NBUVB phototherapy twice a week for 6 months.
 Drug: Atorvastatin
The patients will be treated with the combination of oral atorvastatin and NBUVB phototherapy twice a week for 6 months. The initial starting dose of the oral atorvastatin will be 40mg daily and after 1 month, if tolerated clinically and biologically following blood tests, the dose will be increased to 80mg daily.
Other Name: UVB
UVB
The patients will be receiving only NB-UVB phototherapy twice a week for 6 months.
 Other: UVB
The patients will be receiving only NB-UVB phototherapy twice a week for 6 months.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of decrease in Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (VASI) score [ Time Frame: 4 times (baseline, 1 month, 3 month and 6 month) ]
    Percentage of decrease in Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (VASI) score between baseline and 6 months after commencement of the study. In the VASI assessment, the body is separated into five sites: hands, upper extremities, trunk, lower extremities and feet. The extent of residual depigmentation is expressed by the following percentages: 0, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%, or 100%. The VASI score is then derived by multiplying the values assessed for the vitiligo involvement by the percentage of affected skin for each body site and summing the surface of the lesions of all body sites together.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. VETF [ Time Frame: 4 times (baseline, 1 month, 3 month and 6 month) ]
    Percentage of decrease in Vitiligo European Task Score (VETF) score between baseline and 6 months after commencement of the study.

  2. PGA [ Time Frame: 4 times (baseline, 1 month, 3 month and 6 month) ]
    Physician global assessment (PGA). Treatment response will be graded as excellent (76 - 100%), moderate (51 - 75%), Mild (26 - 50%), minimal (1 - 25%) or no response.

  3. Adverse event [ Time Frame: 4 times (baseline, 1 month, 3 month and 6 month) ]
    Description of potential side effects using clinical evaluation and biology. Clinical and biological tolerability of high dose of oral atorvastatin will be recorded.
