TEV-53408 antibody treatment for nonsegmental vitiligo
Official title: A Phase 1b, Open-Label Trial to Assess Safety and Exploratory Efficacy of TEV-53408 in Participants With Vitiligo
Status: Closed to new participants
Description:
Teva Branded Pharmaceutical Products R&D LLC plans to enroll about 66 participants. The experimental antibody blocks IL-15, an immune signal that helps pigment-destroying T cells survive. Researchers hope it will reduce the immune attack on melanocytes and allow skin color to return. Possible risks include injection or infusion reactions, headache, and infections; longer-term risks are still being studied. People ages 18 to 75 may qualify. The study is underway but is no longer accepting new participants.
