Non-segmental Vitiligo | Drug: Ruxolitinib cream Drug: Vehicle | Phase 3 |
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Actual Enrollment : | 330 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Crossover Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | Participants will receive ruxolitinib cream or vehicle for 24 weeks, after which they will be offered the opportunity to continue in the treatment extension period. Participants initially randomized to vehicle will be crossed over to active drug, and participants treated with ruxolitinib cream will receive an additional 28 weeks of treatment with ruxolitinib cream. |

Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Key Inclusion Criteria:
- Clinical diagnosis of non-segmental vitiligo with depigmented area including ≥ 0.5% BSA on the face, ≥ 0.5 F-VASI, ≥ 3% BSA on nonfacial areas, ≥ 3 T-VASI, and total body vitiligo area (facial and nonfacial) not exceeding 10% BSA.
