Nevus removal vs. no treatment for halo nevus with vitiligo
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study compares surgically removing the central mole (nevus) versus leaving it alone in people who have both halo nevus and vitiligo. It aims to see which approach helps repigmentation better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have halo nevus (a mole with a white ring around it) along with non-segmental vitiligo
- Your vitiligo covers 2% or less of your body surface, not counting hands and feet
- You are between 6 and 45 years old
- You are healthy enough to undergo minor surgery and local anesthesia
- You have not used hormone medications, immune-modulating drugs, or light therapy in the past month
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have no history of keloids or hypertrophic scarring

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether special particles derived from umbilical cord stem cells can help restore skin color in vitiligo (a condition causing loss of skin pigmentation). The treatment is being tested in adults with vitiligo affecting 1–30% of their body.
This trial tests whether taking small doses of steroids by mouth for a few days before and after a skin cell transplant (NCES) can reduce the white halo that sometimes forms around the treated area. It is for people with stable vitiligo on the face or trunk that hasn't responded to creams or light therapy.
This Phase 2 trial tests whether a new drug called D-2570 can help restore skin color in people with non-segmental vitiligo (when white patches appear randomly across the body). The study will track how well the drug works and check if it's safe to use.
This trial tests whether adding short bursts of steroid pills to a skin cell transplant procedure can improve results for people with stable vitiligo on hard-to-treat areas like elbows and knees.
This trial compares two types of needle treatments (needling and microneedling) combined with light therapy to see which works better for people with vitiligo that has lasted more than a year.
This study tests whether microneedling (tiny needles that prick the skin) combined with a chemotherapy cream (5-fluorouracil) works better than a strong steroid cream for treating vitiligo patches on a small area of the body. It's for people with limited vitiligo (covering no more than 10% of their body) who have not used other vitiligo treatments.
