BACKGROUND: All vitiligo treatments are restricted, and no known treatment reliably produces repigmentation. In this study, we investigated the efficacy and safety of 5-Fluorouracil (5FU) as adjuvant therapy in treating vitiligo.
METHODS: Using five significant databases, an electronic systematic search of the literature was conducted. Randomized Clinical Trials (RCTs) that investigated 5FU for treating vitiligo in humans were selected for a meta-analysis and systematic review. This study was conducted by following PROSPERO (CRD42022345736).
RESULTS: A total of 10 studies involving 302 patients were included in our systematic review. The meta-analysis of eight studies revealed that the combination of 5FU with microneedling showed a statistically significant superior effect in comparison with other treatment modalities in ing >75% repigmentation (OR= 4.47; 95%CI= (2.39, 8.35), P < 0.00001). 5FU with microneedling versus microneedling alone showed higher efficacy of 5FU with statistically significant results (OR= 4.22; 95%CI= (1.55, 11.44), P= 0.005). Regarding the influence of different formulations of 5FU, the meta-regression revealed that the highest efficacy was achieved when microneedling was combined with liposomal formulations. There were not any reported severe side effects related to 5FU.
CONCLUSION: 5FU as an adjuvant treatment for vitiligo was found to be more effective in achieving ≥75% repigmentation rates.
