Summary

This trial will evaluate if the drug upadacitinib is safe and effective in treating vitiligo, a chronic autoimmune skin disease. 540 participants will be enrolled worldwide to receive either upadacitinib or a placebo in Period A, followed by upadacitinib in Period B.

Who is the study for?
Adults and adolescents with non-segmental vitiligo (NSV) who have tried at least one topical treatment without success or show signs of actively worsening vitiligo can join. They must have a certain amount of skin affected but not too much, as measured by specific scales.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Upadacitinib, an oral tablet for autoimmune diseases, against a placebo to see if it's safe and effective for NSV. Participants are randomly assigned to get either the drug or placebo in Period A for 48 weeks; everyone gets Upadacitinib in Period B for 112 weeks.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions typical of immune system medications like infections, liver issues, blood problems, allergies, and others that will be monitored through medical assessments and blood tests.
