Importance: Defining meaningful improvement using the Total Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (T-VASI) and the Facial VASI (F-VASI) aids interpretation of findings from clinical trials evaluating vitiligo treatments; however, clear and clinically meaningful thresholds have not yet been established.

Objective: To assess concept validity and measurement performance of the T-VASI and F-VASI in patients with nonsegmental vitiligo and to identify meaningful change thresholds.

Design, Settings, And Participants: This mixed-methods study consisted of a secondary analysis of a phase 2 multicenter double-blind dose-ranging randomized clinical trial and embedded qualitative interviews conducted at 35 sites in Canada, France, Japan, and the US.

Article Synopsis
  • Tyrosinase is linked to various skin conditions, including both hypopigmentation disorders like vitiligo and hyperpigmentation disorders like melasma, and is also implicated in melanoma progression.
  • Current treatments for hyperpigmentation include hydroquinone, azelaic acid, and tretinoin, while new tyrosinase inhibitors are being researched for potential anti-melanoma effects.
  • Kojic acid and vitamin C are commonly used in cosmetics to prevent food browning, and bacterial enzymes show promise in biomedical applications, including the production of L-DOPA, a medication for Parkinson’s disease.
