Disparities in Pediatric-Eligible Vitiligo Clinical Trials

In a cross-sectional analysis of completed pediatric-eligible vitiligo trials, we evaluated reporting of race, ethnicity, Fitzpatrick skin type, and age using data from ClinicalTrials.gov and associated publications. Among 10 trials enrolling 1,475 participants, demographic reporting was inconsistent, with most participants being White, limited representation of individuals with skin of color, and no age stratification for children younger than 13 years. These findings highlight persistent underreporting and underrepresentation in pediatric vitiligo research, underscoring the need for standardized demographic reporting and more inclusive recruitment strategies.
