Assessing Participants' Experiences with Vitiligo from Patient Interviews.
Introduction: Vitiligo is an autoimmune disease, causing skin depigmentation. Individuals with vitiligo incur substantial psychosocial burden and have expressed frustration with their treatments. Here, we describe the burden of vitiligo and opinions on what constitutes meaningful change among participants of two qualitative interview studies.
Methods: Qualitative interviews were conducted with a subgroup of adolescent and adult participants with vitiligo from two pivotal phase 3 clinical trials of ruxolitinib cream (Study 1) and a real-world panel (Study 2). Participants were asked about their disease burden, treatment goals, importance of facial/body improvement (treatment satisfaction: scale range 0-10), and meaningfulness of change (yes/no).
Results: A total of 36 participants from Study 1 and 23 from Study 2 were interviewed. In Study 1, the highest degree of impact was on reduced self-esteem (facial lesions, 62.5%; body lesions, 55.6%), social inhibition (facial lesions, 65.6%; body lesions, 61.1%), and sun sensitivity (facial lesions, 31.3%; body lesions, 55.6%). Most participants (83.3%) reported that facial improvement was equally (36.1%) or more important (47.2%) than body improvement, with mean treatment satisfaction of 8.1 and 6.9, respectively. Meaningful change was reported by 83.3% and 92.9% of participants with 50-74% and ≥ 75% improvement per the facial Vitiligo Area Scoring Index, respectively, and by 82.6% of participants with ≥ 25% improvement per the total Vitiligo Area Scoring Index per Study 1 outcomes at Week 24. In Study 2, most (82.6%) participants felt that the noticeability of their vitiligo affected their behavior. Nearly all (87.0%) said that an ideal treatment would repigment or return natural color to their facial skin; 56.5% considered ≥ 50% facial repigmentation to be the smallest meaningful improvement.
Conclusions: Participants from both qualitative interviews expressed substantial psychosocial burden. Repigmentation in both facial and body vitiligo were important, with meaningful change determined to be ≥ 50% facial repigmentation and ≥ 25% body repigmentation.
期刊介绍：
Dermatology and Therapy is an international, open access, peer-reviewed, rapid publication journal (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance). The journal is dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of dermatological therapies. Studies relating to diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health and epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
Areas of focus include, but are not limited to all clinical aspects of dermatology, such as skin pharmacology; skin development and aging; prevention, diagnosis, and management of skin disorders and melanomas; research into dermal structures and pathology; and all areas of aesthetic dermatology, including skin maintenance, dermatological surgery, and lasers.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of pharmaceutical and healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, case reports/case series, trial protocols, and short communications. Dermatology and Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an International and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of quality research, which may be considered of insufficient interest by other journals. The journal appeals to a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world.
