Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Control group	Placebo	In the Control group, patients will receive the placebo ointment to be applied twice a day during 24 weeks. Counselling on natural light exposure during the duration of the trial will be given.
Tacrolimus group	tacrolimus	Target-lesion will be treated with the study treatment BID. The batch of treatment (Tacrolimus ointment 0.1% or placebo) will be randomized. All the patients will be treated during 6 months. Counselling on natural daylight exposition will also be given to all patients. During the 6-month observation period, relapse (worsening of VASI ≥ 25%) will be re-treated by the study treatment

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Percentage of repigmented surface area of the target lesion ≥75%	One year	To test the efficacy of a 24 weeks months Tacrolimus 0.1% ointment treatment vs placebo in an adult population with stable non-segmental vitiligo of the face. Therapeutic success is defined as the variation in percentage of repigmented surface area of the target lesion ≥75% at 24 weeks months.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Variation in percentage of repigmented surface area	48 weeks	Variation in percentage of repigmented surface area of the target lesion between week 24 and week 48 (observation period) in patients who were successfully treated (observation period)
Variation of patient's global satisfaction using Likert score	48 weeks	Variation of patient's global satisfaction using Likert score at each follow-up visit
Variation of the Dermatology Life Quality Index	24 weeks	Variation of the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) between inclusion and after 24 weeks of treatment between the 2 groups
Number of participants with Adverse events	24 weeks
Variation of the physician global evaluation of treatment efficacy	48 weeks	Variation of the physician global evaluation of treatment efficacy on facial vitiligo using Likert score at each follow-up visit.
