Study to Evaluate Adverse Events and Change in Disease Activity With Oral Tablets of Upadacitinib in Adult Participants With Non-Segmental Vitiligo

United States, Canada, France185 participantsStarted 2021-06-30

Plain-language summary

Vitiligo is a common chronic autoimmune disease that causes the body's immune system to attack its own pigment producing skin cells. This study is to evaluate how safe and effective upadacitinib is in participants with non-segmental vitiligo. Adverse effects and change in disease activity will be assessed. Upadacitinib is being evaluated for the treatment of non-segmental vitiligo. The study will enroll approximately 160 participants aged 18-65 with non-segmental vitiligo in 5 treatment arms across 35 sites worldwide. Participants will either receive study drug vs placebo oral tablets once daily (QD) for 24 weeks (Period A). In Period B (up to 52 weeks), participants who received placebo during the first 24 weeks will switch to study drug. Participants who received study drug during the first 24 weeks, will continue to receive study drug. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

Inclusion Criteria: * Clinical diagnosis of non-segmental vitiligo (NSV) and no segmental or localized vitiligo. * Participants with all of the following at Screening and Baseline. * Visits: ≥ 0.5 F-VASI and ≥ 5 total vitiligo area scoring index (T-VASI). * Participants who have had prior exposure to immunomodulatory biologic therapy, for any indications, but discontinued the biologic therapy prior to the first dose of study drug. Recommended washout periods for biologic therapies include ≥ 4 weeks for etanercept; ≥ 8 weeks for adalimumab, infliximab, certolizumab, golimumab, abatacept, tocilizumab, and ixekizumab; ≥ 16 weeks for secukinumab; and ≥ 12 weeks for ustekinumab. For biologic therapies not specified, therapies must be discontinued at least 5 times the mean terminal elimination half-life of a drug or 3 months prior to Baseline, whichever is longer. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants with segmental or localized vitiligo. * Participants with other skin conditions that would interfere with evaluation of vitiligo, participants with uncontrolled thyroid disease, and participants with \> 33% leukotrichia on the face or \> 33% leukotrichia on the body (including face). * Participants previously treated with any topical or systemic janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor or permanent skin bleaching agents. * Participants treated with any systemic vitiligo therapy (e.g., methotrexate, mycophenolate mofetil, corticosteroids), supplemental vitiligo therapy (antioxidants/vitamins/…

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
