Official Title: Autologous Cell Suspension Grafting Using ReNovaCell in Non-segmental Vitiligo Patients: a Randomized Controlled Study

Brief Summary:

Rationale:

Autologous epidermal cell suspension grafting is an effective method of surgical treatment in vitiligo, which is suitable for treating large areas with good cosmetic results. The RenovaCell Autologous Cell Harvesting Device (Avita Medical Europe Limited, Cambridge, UK) (previous name: ReCell) is a device which, compared to other forms of autologous epidermal cell suspension grafting, is easier in use showing similar results. Efficacy and safety of the ReCell device was proven in segmental vitiligo and piebaldism. However, the efficacy in non-segmental vitiligo is not yet confirmed in randomized controlled trials. The investigators hypothesize that grafting using the ReNovaCell device in combination with standard of care is also effective in stable non-segmental vitiligo and more effective than standard of care alone.

Objective:

Primary: to assess the efficacy and safety of ReNovaCell grafting combined with 311 nm UVB therapy and topical anti-inflammatory therapy for the treatment of stable non-segmental vitiligo. Secondary: to assess, satisfaction, cosmetic acceptability, noticeability and persistence of repigmentation after ReNovaCell transplantation.

Study design: Prospective, observer-blinded, randomised, within subject, controlled, study.

Study population: 20 patients ≥ 18 years with stable non-segmental vitiligo receiving standard of care (311 nm UVB therapy and topical anti-inflammatory therapy) for at least 6 months at the Netherlands Institute for Pigment Disorders (NIPD) at the Academic Medical Centre, University of Amsterdam.

Intervention: In patients already receiving standard of care (311 nm UVB th
