A 104-Week Study of Ritlecitinib Oral Capsules in Adults With Nonsegmental Vitiligo (Active and Stable) Tranquillo 2
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to learn about the safety and effects of the study medicine ritlecitinib for the possible treatment of nonsegmental vitiligo. Vitiligo causes white patches on your skin when the cells that give your skin color are destroyed. Nonsegmental means that it can affect both sides of the body such as both knees and both hands.
Ritlecitinib has been tested in earlier clinical studies and has a favorable safety profile. At present there are no approved medications taken by mouth to treat nonsegmental vitiligo.
This study is seeking participants who:
-
Are 18 years of age or older.
-
are confirmed to have nonsegmental vitiligo for at least 3 months.
-
Are willing to stop all other treatments that they may be taking for vitiligo.
In this study participants will be chosen by chance, like drawing names out of a hat to receive 1 of 3 treatments:
•Part I where two different amounts of ritlecitinib (50 mg and 100 mg) are taken once daily. It will be compared to placebo. Placebo is a dummy capsule. It doesn't have any medicine used in the study.
Participants receiving placebo who have not responded to treatment after 52 weeks will be given 100 milligrams or 50 milligrams of ritlecitinib for the remaining 52 weeks of the study.
• In Part II, participants will only receive 100 milligrams of ritlecitinib. About 1000 participants will take part in Part I and around 450 in Part II globally. The study will compare the experiences of people receiving ritlecitinib to those of the people who do not. This will help see if ritlecitinib is safe and effective.
People in Part I will be in this study for about 26 months and people in Part II will be in this study for about 14 months. During the study, participants in part I will need to visit the study site at least 17 times. In part II, participants will visit at least 11 times.
Participants will undergo various tests and procedures such as:
-
vitiligo rating,
-
physical examinations,
-
hearing tests,
-
blood tests,
-
x-ray,
-
ECG,
-
photographs of areas with vitiligo. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires about their vitiligo.

Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Participants aged 18 years (or the minimum age of consent in accordance with local regulations) or older (no upper age limit) at Screening.
• Meeting reproductive criteria for female participants.
Disease Characteristics:
- Eligible participants must have at both Screening and BL:
-
A clinical diagnosis of nonsegmental vitiligo for at least 3 months; and
-
BSA involvement 4% to 60% inclusive, excluding involvements at palms of the hands, soles of the feet, or dorsal aspect of the feet and
-
BSA ≥0.5% involvement on the face. Face is defined as including the area on the forehead to the original hairline, on the cheek to the jawline vertically to the jawline and laterally from the corner of the mouth to the tragus. Face will not include scalp, ears, neck, or surface area of the lips, but will include the nose and the eyelids; and
-
F-VASI ≥0.5 and T-VASI ≥3; and
-
Either active or stable nonsegmental vitiligo at Screening and BL visits. All participants who do not have the features of active vitiligo (defined below) will be classified as having stable disease.
Active vitiligo is defined as:
Participants will be classified as having active vitiligo based on the presence of at least one active lesion at BL defined as one of the following:
-
New/extending lesions(s) in the 3 months prior to Screening visit (confirmed by photographs or medical record);
-
Confetti-like lesion(s); Confetti-like depigmentation is characterized by the presence of numerous 1-mm to 5-mm depigmented macules in clusters;
-
Trichrome lesion(s); Trichrome lesions have a hypopigmented zone of varying width between normal and completely depigmented skin, resulting in 3 different hues of skin;
-
Koebner phenomenon/phenomena (excluding Type 1 [history based on isomorphic reaction]). The Koebner phenomenon manifests as depigmentation at sites of trauma, usually in a linear arrangement.
Stable vitiligo is defined as:
• Participants will be classified as having stable vitiligo based on an absence of signs of active disease. All participants who do not have the features of active vitiligo (defined above) will be classified as having stable disease.
Eligibility is determined at Screening and Baseline based on the resulting scores from the local in-person reads of F-VASI, T-VASI, and BSA.
- Additional inclusion criteria are:
-
If receiving concomitant medications for any reason other than vitiligo, participant must be on a stable regimen, which is defined as not starting a new drug or changing dosage within 7 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer) prior to Day 1. Participant must be willing to stay on a stable regimen during the duration of the study.
-
Must agree to stop all other treatments for vitiligo from Screening through the final follow-up visit.
