EXTON, Pa., June 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Vitiligo is a disease that causes loss of skin color in patches when cells that produce melanin die or stop functioning.1 Spherix recently surveyed 101 US dermatologists and followed up with eleven qualitative interviews (including three with industry key opinion leaders) to assess the current and future treatment paradigm of vitiligo patients.
- Dermatologists also measure severity in terms of the patient's quality of life and the location of their vitiligo.
- There are currently no FDA-approved treatments available for vitiligo and therefore the unmet need, regardless of disease severity, remains high.
- In terms of standard of care, adults and adolescents currently receive similar treatment for vitiligo.
- Insights highlight market size, current treatment approaches, unmet needs, and expert opinions on the likely disruption introduced by pipeline agents.
