What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Percentage of Participants Treated With Ruxolitinib Cream Who Achieved a ≥ 50% Improvement From Baseline in Facial Assessment of the Vitiligo Area and Severity Index Score (F-VASI50) Compared With Participants Treated With Vehicle at Week 24

    An F-VASI50 responder achieved at least 50% improvement from Baseline in F-VASI, measured by the percentage of vitiligo involvement (percentage of body surface area [BSA]) and the degree of depigmentation: 0% (no depigmentation), 10% (only specks of depigmentation), 25% (pigmented area exceeded depigmented area), 50% (depigmented and pigmented area was equal), 75% (depigmented area exceeded pigmented area), 90% (specks of pigment), or 100% (no pigment). The percentage of BSA (hand unit) vitiligo involvement was estimated to the nearest 0.1% by the Investigator using the Palmar Method. The Investigator used his/her hand to mimic the participant's hand size to evaluate the percentage of BSA vitiligo involvement. F-VASI was then derived by multiplying the values assessed for the vitiligo involvement by the percentage of affected skin for each site on the face and summing the values of all sites (possible range: 0-3; lower scores indicate increased improvement).

    Measured: Baseline; Week 24

Secondary outcomes (48)
  1. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Facial Assessment of the Physician's Global Vitiligo Assessment (F-PhGVA) of Clear or Almost Clear

    The severity of vitiligo was assessed by the physician using the PhGVA, which has a 5-point scale. 0=clear, no signs of vitiligo; 1=almost clear, only specks of depigmentation present; 2=mild disease, pigmented and depigmented areas are equal; 3=moderate disease, more or complete depigmentation (may include < 30% hair whitening); 4=severe disease, complete depigmentation plus > 30% hair whitening.

    Measured: Week 24

  2. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a ≥ 50% Improvement From Baseline in Full Body Assessment of Vitiligo Area and Severity Index (T-VASI) at Week 52

    T-VASI was measured by the percentage of vitiligo involvement from all body regions (percentage of BSA; assessed by the Investigator) and the degree of depigmentation: 0% (no depigmentation), 10% (only specks of depigmentation), 25% (pigmented area exceeded depigmented area), 50% (depigmented and pigmented area was equal), 75% (depigmented area exceeded pigmented area), 90% (specks of pigment present), 100% (no pigment present). T-VASI was derived by multiplying the vitiligo involvement values by the percentage of affected skin for each body site and summing all values (possible range: 0-100; lower scores indicate increased improvement).

The area "Face" did not include the surface area of the lips, scalp, ears, or neck, but included the nose and eyelids. Body surface area assessment was performed by the Palmar Method. Body surface area was estimated to the nearest 0.1%. The approximate size of the participant's entire palmar surface (i.e., the palm plus 5 digits) was considered as 1% BSA, and the approximate size of the participant's thumb was considered as 0.1% BSA.

    The VETF-proposed system combines analysis of extent (0%-100% BSA), stage of disease (staging), and disease progression (spreading); each component is evaluated and reported independently. Staging is based on cutaneous and hair pigmentation in vitiligo patches. Disease is staged 0 to 4 on the largest macule in each of 5 body regions, except hands and feet, which are assessed separately and globally as 1 unique area. Stage 0=normal pigmentation, Stage 1=incomplete pigmentation, Stage 2=complete depigmentation (a few white hairs do not change stage), Stage 3=partial hair whitening (<30%), Stage 4=complete hair whitening; total score of 0 (less severe disease) to 20 (more severe disease). Disease progression is based on assessing the largest patch in each of 5 body areas: -1=regressive vitiligo (ongoing subclinical repigmentation), 0=similar limits, 1=progressive vitiligo (ongoing subclinical depigmentation); total score of -5 (improving disease) to +5 (more severe disease spread).

  44. Time to Achieve an F-VASI50: Number of Days From the Date of the First Application in the Double-Blind Period to the Date of the First Evaluation at Which the Participant Met the F-VASI50 Score

    An F-VASI50 responder achieved at least 50% improvement from Baseline in F-VASI, measured by the percentage of vitiligo involvement (percentage of BSA) and the degree of depigmentation: 0% (no depigmentation), 10% (only specks of depigmentation), 25% (pigmented area exceeded depigmented area), 50% (depigmented and pigmented area was equal), 75% (depigmented area exceeded pigmented area), 90% (specks of pigment), or 100% (no pigment). The percentage of BSA (hand unit) vitiligo involvement was estimated to the nearest 0.1% by the Investigator using the Palmar Method. The Investigator used his/her hand to mimic the participant's hand size to evaluate the percentage of BSA vitiligo involvement. F-VASI was then derived by multiplying the values assessed for the vitiligo involvement by the percentage of affected skin for each site on the face and summing the values of all sites (possible range: 0-3; lower scores indicate increased improvement).

    Measured: up to 52 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ruxolitinib cream in people with Vitiligo, run by Incyte Corporation at 26 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 26 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Dec 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Percentage of Participants Treated With Ruxolitinib Cream Who Achieved a ≥ 50% Improvement From Baseline in Facial Assessment of the Vitiligo Area and Severity Index Score (F-VASI50) Compared With Participants Treated With Vehicle at Week 24 (time frame: Baseline; Week 24). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03099304, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Nov 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
