Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Children aged 6 to under 12 with nonsegmental vitiligo affecting ≤10% total body surface area, including at least 0.5% BSA on the face and meeting the study's VASI criteria, who can stop other vitiligo treatments and attend clinic visits.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with segmental vitiligo, other depigmentation disorders, more extensive disease (>10% BSA), or those unable to discontinue other vitiligo treatments are unlikely to qualify or benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This Phase 3 trial compares topical ruxolitinib cream to a matching vehicle cream in children aged 6 to under 12 with limited nonsegmental vitiligo. Eligible participants must have facial and nonfacial involvement meeting specific VASI and BSA thresholds and total body vitiligo area ≤10%. Participants agree to stop other vitiligo treatments and will be followed for safety and repigmentation outcomes using standardized scoring. The study is being conducted at multiple clinical sites in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, it could offer a safe, effective topical option to restore pigment in young children with nonsegmental vitiligo.
How similar studies have gone: Topical ruxolitinib and other JAK inhibitors have shown repigmentation benefit in older adolescents and adults in prior trials, supporting testing in younger children.
