Who can take part

AI summary

From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.

The trial is looking for children aged 2 to 11 with nonsegmental vitiligo, a condition where patches of skin lose their color. It tests ruxolitinib cream against a cream with no drug.

Age
2 Years to 11 Years
Sex
All
Disease stage
Nonsegmental vitiligo with light patches covering ≥ 0.5% BSA (body surface area) on the face, ≥ 0.5 F-VASI, ≥ 2% BSA on other areas and ≥ 2 T-VASI. Total vitiligo area no more than 10% BSA. Some colored hair inside vitiligo patches on the face.
Earlier treatment
Must stop all vitiligo treatments from screening to the final safety visit. Cannot join after past or current use of skin-lightening treatments (eg, monobenzone). Cannot join if a JAK inhibitor pill or cream (eg, ruxolitinib, tofacitinib, baricitinib, abrocitinib, upadacitinib) did not work before.

Main reasons for not taking part

  • Other forms of vitiligo (eg, segmental) or other skin color-loss disorders
  • Other skin disease or serious illness that would interfere with the study
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding, or planning pregnancy during the study
  • Known allergy to any part of the study cream
  • Living with someone in another Incyte ruxolitinib cream study
