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 adults with non-segmental vitiligo, including on the face. It compares ACT-777991 tablets with placebo tablets taken daily for 24 weeks.
- Age
- 18 Years to 65 Years
- Sex
- All sexes can join
- Disease stage
- Active or stable non-segmental vitiligo, diagnosed at least 3 months before Screening. F-VASI score ≥ 0.3 and T-VASI score ≥ 5. Vitiligo covers ≤ 50% of the body surface, including the face.
- Earlier treatment
- No systemic immunotherapy, including JAK inhibitors, for any inflammatory disease in the 12 months before Randomization. No JAK inhibitor creams in the 6 weeks before Screening. No laser or light treatment, including tanning beds, in the 8 weeks before Screening. You must agree to use no other vitiligo treatments during the trial. In the EU, you cannot have stopped or changed a vitiligo treatment just to join this trial.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Segmental vitiligo or other disorders that cause loss of skin color
- Any autoimmune disease, except thyroid disease that is well treated
- Kidney function (eGFR) < 90 mL/min/1.73 m^2 at Screening
- Recent immunotherapy, JAK inhibitors, or light-based treatment

Show all 8 criteriaShow less
Who can take part
- Clinical diagnosis of either active or stable non segmental vitiligo for at least 3 months prior to Screening and meet all the following criteria:; F-VASI score ≥ 0.3 based on BICR at Screening; T-VASI score ≥ 5 based on investigator assessment at Screening and Randomization; Total body surface area (BSA) involvement, including the face, ≤ 50% based on investigator assessment at Screening and Randomization
- Participants must agree not to use therapeutic agents and procedures to treat vitiligo from Screening until Participant Last Visit; Applicable only to EU: In addition to the above, participants must not have discontinued, reduced, or modified a vitiligo treatment/ procedure for the purpose of meeting trial eligibility criteria or a wash out requirement
Who cannot take part
- History of systemic immunotherapy treatment, including JAK inhibitors, for any inflammatory disease in the 12 months prior to Randomization
- History of topical JAK inhibitors for any inflammatory disease in the 6 weeks prior to Screening
- Use of laser or light-based treatment (phototherapy), including tanning beds, in the 8 weeks prior to Screening
- Clinical diagnosis of other forms of vitiligo (e.g., segmental) or other hypo- or depigmentation disorders (e.g., piebaldism, leukoderma, Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease, malignancy-induced hypopigmentation)
- Any autoimmune disease, except adequately treated thyroid disease
- eGFR < 90 mL/min/1.73 m\^2, defined by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) creatinine equation, at Screening

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn how well ACT-777991 works, how safe it is and how well it is tolerated by adults with non-segmental vitiligo.

The main question this clinical trial aims to answer is:
• Can ACT-777991 help return color to the skin of the face of adults with non-segmental vitiligo?
Researchers will compare ACT-777991 to placebo (a look-alike inactive treatment that contains no medicine) to see if ACT-777991 works to treat non-segmental vitiligo.
Trial participants will:
* Take the trial intervention (either ACT-777991 or placebo) daily for 24 weeks. * Visit the clinic 7 times for check-up and tests.
The 2 groups in the trial
- ACT-777991Treatment being tested
Participants will receive ACT-777991 tablets orally for 24 weeks.
- PlaceboPlacebo, for comparison
Participants will receive placebo tablets orally for 24 weeks.
