Trial Design

7Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Placebo Group
Group I: VC Period: Ruxolitinib 1.5% Cream BIDExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants received ruxolitinib 1.5% cream, applied topically to the affected areas as a thin film BID from Day 1 to Week 8 during the VC Period. Participants applied cream BID to areas identified at Baseline even if the areas improved.
Group II: VC Period: Ruxolitinib 0.75% Cream BIDExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants received ruxolitinib 0.75% cream, applied topically to the affected areas as a thin film BID from Day 1 to Week 8 during the VC Period. Participants applied cream BID to areas identified at Baseline even if the areas improved.
Group III: LTS Period: Vehicle Cream to Ruxolitinib 1.5% Cream BIDExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants who applied vehicle cream BID during the VC Period, were randomized to apply ruxolitinib 1.5% cream, topically to the affected areas as a thin film BID from Week 8 to 52 during the LTS Period. Participants stopped treatment 3 days after lesions disappeared and restarted at the first sign of recurrence.
Group IV: LTS Period: Vehicle Cream to Ruxolitinib 0.75% Cream BIDExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants who applied vehicle cream BID during the VC Period, were randomized to apply ruxolitinib 0.75% cream, topically to the affected areas as a thin film BID from Week 8 to 52 during the Long-term Safety (LTS) Period. Participants stopped treatment 3 days after lesions disappeared and restarted at the first sign of recurrence.
Group V: LTS Period: Ruxolitinib 1.5% CreamExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Arm description: Participants who applied ruxolitinib 1.5% cream during VC Period, continued applying ruxolitinib 1.5% cream topically to the affected areas as a thin film BID from Week 8 to 52 during the LTS Period. Participants stopped treatment 3 days after lesions disappeared and restarted at the first sign of recurrence.
Group VI: LTS Period: Ruxolitinib 0.75% CreamExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Arm description: Participants who applied ruxolitinib 0.75% cream during VC Period, continued applying ruxolitinib 0.75% cream topically to the affected areas as a thin film BID from Week 8 to 52 during the LTS Period. Participants stopped treatment 3 days after lesions disappeared and restarted at the first sign of recurrence.
Group VII: VC Period: Vehicle Cream BIDPlacebo Group1 Intervention
Participants received vehicle cream, applied topically to the affected areas as a thin film twice daily (BID) from Day 1 to Week 8 during the Vehicle Control (VC) Period. Participants applied cream BID to areas identified at Baseline even if the areas improved.
