About this trial

Vitiligo is a long-term autoimmune condition that causes the skin to lose its color. The body's germ-fighting system (immune system) mistakenly attacks the skin cells (melanocytes) which produce the pigment that gives the skin color (melanin). This leads to the formation of patches of skin with less or no pigment (depigmentation). These patches can occur anywhere on the body. In the nonsegmental form of vitiligo, similar patches occur on both sides of the body (symmetrical patches).

The main aim of this study is to learn how safe zasocitinib is, how well it works and how well it is tolerated by adults with nonsegmental vitiligo.

The participants will receive the study treatment (either zasocitinib or placebo) for up to 1 year (52 weeks). The placebo looks like the zasocitinib capsule but does not have any medicine in it. Participants who receive placebo at the beginning will change to zasocitinib after about 6 months.

During the study, participants will visit their study clinic 11 times.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Participant is willing and able to understand and fully comply with trial procedures and requirements (including digital tools and applications), in the opinion of the investigator.

Participant has provided written informed consent and any required privacy authorization before the initiation of any trial procedures.

Participants must have a clinical diagnosis of nonsegmental vitiligo: F-VASI greater than or equal to (>=) 0.5 and a T-VASI >= 5 and less than or equal to (<=) 50 at screening and Day 1.

Participant is aged >=18 years to <=75 years old at the time of consent.

Disqualifiers

Participant has segmental vitiligo (including mixed vitiligo) or any other congenital or acquired cause of hypopigmentation or depigmentation that could interfere with the diagnosis or assessment of nonsegmental vitiligo.

Participant has >50 percent (%) leukotrichia on the face or >50% leukotrichia of the body (includes the face), within the skin affected by vitiligo.

Participant requires immunomodulatory or immunosuppressive systemic treatment, other than nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, during the trial period for an immune-related disease (for example, inflammatory bowel disease).

Participant has a history of phototherapy (including, but not limited to, broadband Ultra-Violet [UV]-B, narrowband UV-B, psoralen and UV-A, excimer or other laser therapy, or tanning booth use) within 8 weeks before Day 1. Use of sunscreen products and protective apparel is recommended when sun exposure cannot be avoided.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Percentage of Participants Achieving >= 75% Improvement From Baseline in Facial Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (F-VASI) at Week 24

The vitiligo area scoring index (VASI) is a validated scoring method used to assess the areas of depigmentation due to vitiligo. The F-VASI includes contributions from the face, with a possible range from 0 to 3.5, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. Negative changes from baseline indicate improvement. This is recorded as either Yes (achieved \>= 75% improvement) or No (did not achieve).

Time frame
Baseline, Week 24

Secondary outcomes

1

Percent Change From Baseline in the F-VASI at Week 24

The vitiligo area scoring index (VASI) is a validated scoring method used to assess the areas of depigmentation due to vitiligo. The F-VASI includes contributions from the face, with a possible range from 0 to 3.5, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. Negative changes from baseline indicate improvement.

Time frame
Baseline, Week 24
2

Percent Change From Baseline in the Total- Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (T-VASI) at Week 24

The VASI is a validated scoring method used to assess the areas of depigmentation due to vitiligo. The T-VASI is calculated using a formula that includes contributions from all body regions, with a possible range from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating more severe disease.

Time frame
Baseline, Week 24
3

Percentage of Participants Achieving F-VASI 50 at Week 24

F-VASI 50 is defined as \>=50% improvement from baseline.

Time frame
At Week 24
4

Percentage of Participants Achieving T-VASI 50 at Week 24

T-VASI 50 is defined as \>=50% improvement from baseline.
