Pivotal Trial

Summary

This trial aims to test if a cream called ruxolitinib is safe and effective for treating nonsegmental vitiligo in children.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children with a type of skin condition called nonsegmental vitiligo, which causes loss of skin color in patches. They should have it on at least 0.5% of their face or 3% on other body parts but not more than 10% overall. Participants must stop using other vitiligo treatments during the study and if sexually active, avoid pregnancy.
What is being tested?
The study tests Ruxolitinib cream to see if it's safe and effective for treating pediatric nonsegmental vitiligo compared to a placebo (Vehicle Cream). It will involve applying these creams to see if they can restore skin color in affected areas.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects are not detailed here, but like any topical treatment, Ruxolitinib cream may cause local reactions such as redness, itching or irritation where applied.
