About this study

Official title: A Comparative Study Between Recipient Site Preparation Using Dermabrasion,Liquid Nitrogen Induced Blister and Dermarolling System in Autologous Non Cultured Epidermal Cell Suspension Procedure in Stable Vitiligo Patients.

A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN RECEPIENT SITE PREPARATION USING DERMABRASION, LIQUID NITROGEN INDUCED BLISTER AND DERMAROLLING SYSTEM IN AUTOLOGOUS NON CULTURED EPIDERMAL CELL SUSPENSION PROCEDURE IN STABLE VITILIGO PATIENTS

Read the detailed description

With a sample size of 36, 3 patches of a single stable vitiligo patient will be prepared using dermabrasion,dermaroller system and liquid nitrogen induced blister. The autologous non cultured epidermal cell suspension will be prepared using cold trypsinization from the skin graft taken from patient.After preparation of the recipient site,the suspension is applied and dressing is done.The patient is followed up for 3 months and extent of repigmentation,colour match,pattern of repigmentation,patient satisfaction score, vitiligo quality of life index before and after surgery and effect on acral vs non acral regions are studied for all the 3 methods.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Dermabrasion with NCESProcedure or surgery

    1. The recipient site will be shaved, cleaned with betadine and surgical spirit and anaesthetized with mixture of 2% lignocaine and NS (1:1).
    2. Dermabrasion will be done using Manekshaw's dermabrader until tiny pinpoint bleeding spots are seen and extended 5mm beyond margins to prevent halo phenomenon.
    3. The denuded area will be washed with PBS and covered with a PBS moistened gauze piece.
    4. With 18 G needle attached to tuberculine syringe, few small drops of non cultured epidermal cell suspension will be placed over the denuded surface and spread evenly.
    5. Dressing is done in 4 layers in order-collagen(Neuskin F), bactigras, cutisoft(sterile gauze) and dynaplast (elastic plaster).
  • Dermaroller with NCESProcedure or surgery

    1. The recipient site will be shaved, cleaned with betadine and surgical spirit.
    2. Microneedling will be done with a device containing 540 microneedles in 8 rows, each 0.25 mm in length. Microneedling will be extended 5 mm beyond margins to prevent halo phenomenon.
    3. The roller will be passed repeatedly over the skin in a star-shaped way for about 10 minutes
    4. The noncultured epidermal cell suspension will be carefully transferred to a tuberculin syringe.
    5. NCES will be applied to the skin surface with a tuberculin syringe with an 18G needle and spread evenly after dermarolling treatment.
    6. Dressing is done in 4 layers in order-collagen(Neuskin F), bactigras, cutisoft(sterile gauze) and dynaplast (elastic plaster).
  • Liquid nitrogen induced blister with NCESProcedure or surgery

    1. The recipient site will be shaved, cleaned with betadine and surgical spirit and anaesthetized with mixture of 2% lignocaine and NS (1:1).
    2. The site to be grafted is outlined with a surgical marking pen.
    3. To induce blisters on the achromic areas, freezing with liquid nitrogen spray was performed during 10 to 20 seconds inside round circles previously drawn on the skin.
    4. The patient is asked to visit 24 hours later.
    5. The blister fluid is aspirated and NCES taken in tuberculin syringe with 18 G needle is injected into it such that the blister roof is preserved.
    6. Dressing is done in 4 layers in order-collagen(Neuskin F), bactigras, cutisoft(sterile gauze) and dynaplast (elastic plaster).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Comparison of extent of repigmentation in the vitiligo patches following dermabrasion, dermaroller system and liquid nitrogen induced blister followed by autologous non culured epidermal cell suspension.

    The extent of repigmentation is done by measurement of lesions in a tracer paper before and after surgery and comparison of pre operative and post operative images clicked in Canon Powershot SX620HS 20.2MP camera and grading is done as

    ≤25% Minimal repigmentation 26-50% Mild repigmentation 51-75% Moderate repigmentation 76-90% Marked repigmentation >90% Excellent repigmentation

    Measured: 3 months from the surgery

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Comparison of colour match of repigmentation in the vitiligo patches following dermabrasion, dermaroller system and liquid nitrogen induced blister followed by autologous non culured epidermal cell suspension.

    Comaprison is done by matching the colur of repigmented skin with the colour of normal skin and grading it as 'somewhat lighter than', 'same as' or 'somewhat darker than' normal skin.

    Measured: 3 months from the surgery

  2. Comparison of pattern of repigmentation in the vitiligo patches following dermabrasion, dermaroller system and liquid nitrogen induced blister followed by autologous non cultured epidermal cell suspension.

    Comparison is done by using pre operarative and post operative images of the lesions clicked using Canon SX620HS 20.2 MP camera and classified as

    • Diffuse
    • Perifollicular
    • Migrating from the borders

    Measured: 3 months from the surgery

  3. Comparison of adverse events in the vitiligo patches following dermabrasion, dermaroller system and liquid nitrogen induced blister followed by autologous non cultured epidermal cell suspension.

    Recipient site adverse effects

    • infection
    • milia
    • scarring Donor site adverse effects
    • Infection
    • Milia
    • Scarring
    • Hypopigmentation
    • Hyperpigmentation
    • rejection

    Measured: 3 months from the surgery

  4. Comparison of repigmentation in acral vs non acral areas in the vitiligo patches following dermabrasion, dermaroller system and liquid nitrogen induced blister followed by autologous non cultured epidermal cell suspension.

    Repigmentation is compared between acral and non acral areas using pre operative and post operative images clicked by Canon SX620HS 20.2MP camera.

    Measured: 3 months from the surgery

  5. Patient satisfaction index

    Patients are asked to fill patient satisfaction index after surgery which is a questionaire with scores ranging from 0-30.

    Measured: 3 months from the surgery

  6. Vitiligo quality of life index.

    Comparison of vitiligo quality of life index before and after surgery in the vitiligo patches following dermabrasion, dermaroller system and liquid nitrogen induced blister followed by autologous non cultured epidermal cell suspension with scores ranging from 0-96.

    Measured: 3 months from the surgery

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Davinder Parsad (7986359284, parsad@me.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Comparison of extent of repigmentation in the vitiligo patches following dermabrasion, dermaroller system and liquid nitrogen induced blister followed by autologous non culured epidermal cell suspension. (time frame: 3 months from the surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
