Phase 3 · Vitiligo

Enrollment beyond forecast. Support through demanding visits.

Photography, lengthy skin assessments, and procedure-heavy appointments made participation a substantial commitment. Clear explanations and practical accommodations helped participants manage those demands.

The work behind the result

Make demanding visits more manageable.

Eligibility, photography, and the time required onsite each called for a practical response.

  • Restrictive eligibility and affected-skin requirements

    Candidates had to meet specific requirements for the extent of vitiligo involvement.

    How WCR responded

    The team reviewed potential eligibility before screening and explained what the assessments would involve, giving candidates a clearer basis for considering participation.

  • Comfort with study photography

    Photography could feel personal and required a clear explanation.

    How WCR responded

    Staff discussed the photography and procedures, answered questions, and helped participants feel comfortable throughout their visits.

  • Lengthy assessments and multi-procedure visits

    Repeated skin assessments and long appointments created practical demands.

    How WCR responded

    WCR accommodated schedules, provided transportation when needed, and supplied meals during particularly long visits. Support made the required visits more manageable without shortening the assessments.

Outcomes in context

Enrollment and audit were distinct outcomes

Randomization exceeded the original forecast. Separately, the study audit reported zero findings; that result applies to this study and does not imply regulatory endorsement.

The full follow-up picture

Two randomized participants were lost to follow-up and one withdrew early. These were separate outcomes, and the available figures do not establish a completed-participant total.
