The registry criteria, word for word

Show all 14 criteriaShow less

Who can take part

  • A clinical diagnosis of nonsegmental vitiligo with depigmented area including all of the following:; ≥ 0.5 F-VASI on the face; ≥ 3.0 T-VASI (body areas not including the face); Total body vitiligo area (facial and nonfacial) not exceeding 10% BSA
  • Agree to discontinue all agents used to treat vitiligo from screening through the final safety follow-up visit. Over-the-counter preparations deemed acceptable by the investigator and camouflage makeups are permitted

Who cannot take part

  • Previous adverse reaction to NB-UVB phototherapy that caused discontinuation of therapy
  • Lack of response (little or no repigmentation) to prior NB-UVB phototherapy
  • Active acute bacterial, fungal, or viral skin infection (eg, herpes simplex, herpes zoster, chicken pox) within 1 week before baseline
  • Recent use of topical or systemic medications (including biologics or JAK inhibitors), or laser or phototherapy to treat vitiligo. Note: Recent may be defined differently for different treatments
  • Other forms of vitiligo (eg, segmental) or other differential diagnosis of vitiligo or other skin depigmentation disorders
  • History of thromboembolic events (eg, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, ischemic stroke, myocardial infarction)
  • Any other skin disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with the study cream application or study assessments
  • Any serious illness or medical, physical, or psychiatric condition(s) that pose a significant risk to the participant; or interfere with interpretation of study data
  • Specific protocol-defined chemistry, hematology, and serological lab values
  • No pigmented hair within any of the vitiligo areas on the face
  • Used depigmentation treatments (eg, monobenzone) for past treatment of vitiligo or other pigmented areas
  • Those who are pregnant, lactating or considering pregnancy during the period of study participation

About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ruxolitinib cream with or without phototherapy in adolescent and adult participants with non-segmental vitiligo for whom vitiligo area (facial and nonfacial) does not exceed 10% body surface area (BSA).

The 2 groups in the trial

  • Group A: Ruxolitinib + Narrow-Band Ultraviolet B Phototherapy (NB-UVB)Treatment being tested

    Participants will initially apply ruxolitinib 1.5%mg cream as a monotherapy. At week 12, those who have \< 25% improvement in total body Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (T-VASI25) will have NB-UVB phototherapy added to their ruxolitinib 1.5% cream BID regimen. NB-UVB will be given 3 times per week starting at Week 12 through Week 48 (36 weeks). For participants who receive combination therapy, NB-UVB machines will be supplied by the sponsor for at home use during the study.

    Treatment: Ruxolitinib 1.5% cream and NB-UVB phototherapy

  • Group B: Ruxolitinib MonotherapyTreatment being tested

    Participants will apply ruxolitinib 1.5% cream BID as monotherapy. Participants who have ≥ T-VASI25 at Week 12 will continue on ruxolitinib 1.5% cream BID alone.

    Treatment: Ruxolitinib 1.5% cream
