A Study to Learn How Safe ACT-777991 is and How Well it Works in Adults With Non-segmental Vitiligo

The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn how well ACT-777991 works, how safe it is and how well it is tolerated by adults with non-segmental vitiligo.

The main question this clinical trial aims to answer is:

• Can ACT-777991 help return color to the skin of the face of adults with non-segmental vitiligo?

Researchers will compare ACT-777991 to placebo (a look-alike inactive treatment that contains no medicine) to see if ACT-777991 works to treat non-segmental vitiligo.

Trial participants will:

* Take the trial intervention (either ACT-777991 or placebo) daily for 24 weeks. * Visit the clinic 7 times for check-up and tests.

About this study

The trial includes three trial periods:

Following a Screening period, during which it will be checked if participants are eligible to take part, eligible participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either ACT-777991 or placebo for 24 weeks (Trial intervention period). On completion of treatment, participants will be followed for 30 (+7) days (Follow-up period).

Trial participation will end with a Follow-up visit (Participant Last Visit) at the end of the Follow-up period.

The maximum trial duration for an individual participant is approximately 33 weeks including a screening period of up to 28 days, a treatment period of 24 weeks, and a follow-up period of up to 37 days.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Clinical diagnosis of either active or stable non segmental vitiligo for at least 3 months prior to Screening and meet all the following criteria:
  • F-VASI score ≥ 0.3 based on BICR at Screening.
  • T-VASI score ≥ 5 based on investigator assessment at Screening and Randomization.
  • Total body surface area (BSA) involvement, including the face, ≤ 50% based on investigator assessment at Screening and Randomization.
  • Participants must agree not to use therapeutic agents and procedures to treat vitiligo from Screening until Participant Last Visit.

Exclusion criteria

  • Clinical diagnosis of other forms of vitiligo (e.g., segmental) or other hypo- or depigmentation disorders (e.g., piebaldism, leukoderma, Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease, malignancy-induced hypopigmentation).
  • Any autoimmune disease, except adequately treated thyroid disease.
  • History of systemic immunotherapy treatment, including JAK inhibitors, for any inflammatory disease in the 12 months prior to Randomization.
  • History of topical JAK inhibitors for any inflammatory disease in the 6 weeks prior to Screening.
  • Use of laser or light-based treatment (phototherapy), including tanning beds, in the 8 weeks prior to Screening.
  • eGFR < 90 mL/min/1.73 m2, defined by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) creatinine equation, at Screening.

Primary outcomes

  1. Main primary outcome measure: Percentage change from baseline in Facial Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (F-VASI) based on Blinded Independent Central Reading (BICR) at Week 24

    Time frame: Baseline; Week 24

    The vitiligo area scoring index (VASI) is a validated clinician-reported outcome measure that scores both the extent (surface area) and degree (level of depigmentation) of vitiligo lesions over time. The F-VASI describes involvement of the face, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. Negative changes from baseline indicate improvement.

  2. Supplementary primary outcome measure: Percentage change from baseline in F-VASI based on investigator assessment at Week 24

    Time frame: Baseline; Week 24

  3. Supplementary primary outcome measure: Percentage change from baseline in F-VASI at Week 4, 8 and 16

    Time frame: Baseline; Week 4, Week 8; Week 16

    F-VASI will be assessed by the investigator and by BICR.

  4. Supplementary primary outcome measure: Achievement of F-VASI50 at Week 4, 8, 16 and 24

    Time frame: Baseline; Week 4; Week 8; Week 16; Week 24

    Proportion of patients achieving at least a 50% improvement from baseline in F-VASI.

  5. Supplementary primary outcome measure: Achievement of F-VASI75 at Week 4, 8, 16 and 24

    Time frame: Baseline; Week 4; Week 8; Week 16; Week 24

    Proportion of patients achieving at least a 75% improvement from baseline in F-VASI.

  6. Supplementary primary outcome measure: Achievement of F-VASI90 at Week 4, 8, 16 and 24

    Time frame: Baseline; Week 4; Week 8; Week 16; Week 24

    Proportion of patients achieving at least a 90% improvement from baseline in F-VASI.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage change from baseline in Total Body Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (T-VASI) at Week 4, 8, 16 and 24

    Time frame: Baseline; Week 24

    The T-VASI is calculated using a formula that includes contributions from all body regions, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. The F-VASI is used as the score for the 'face' component , i.e., the face is not be scored again. Negative changes from baseline indicate improvement. T-VASI will be assessed by the investigator.

  2. Achievement of T-VASI50 at Week 4, 8, 16 and 24

    Time frame: Baseline; Week 4; Week 8; Week 16; Week 24

    Proportion of patients achieving at least a 50% improvement from baseline in T-VASI.

  3. Adverse events (AEs) leading to premature discontinuation of trial intervention

    Time frame: From start of trial intervention to last dose of trial intervention, assessed up to Week 24

  4. Treatment-emergent AEs and serious AEs (SAEs)

    Time frame: From start of trial intervention up to 37 days after last dose of trial intervention (Follow-up visit)

    Treatment-emergent events are AEs and SAEs reported for the first time or as worsening of a pre-existing event after first dose of trial intervention up to 37 days after last dose of trial intervention (Follow-up visit).

  5. Treatment-emergent AEs of special interest (AESI)

    Time frame: From start of trial intervention up to 37 days after last dose of trial intervention (Follow-up visit)

  6. Change from baseline in vital signs: systolic and diastolic blood pressure

  7. Change from baseline in vital signs: pulse rate

    Time frame: Baseline to all pre-defined time points, up to 37 days after last dose of trial intervention (Follow-up visit)

  8. Change from baseline in hematology variables

    Time frame: Baseline to all pre-defined time points, up to 37 days after last dose of trial intervention (Follow-up visit)

    The concentration of hematology variables will be measured and the change from baseline summarized.

  9. Change from baseline in blood chemistry variables

    Time frame: Baseline to all pre-defined time points, up to 37 days after last dose of trial intervention (Follow-up visit)

    The concentration of blood chemistry variables will be measured and the change from baseline summarized.

  10. Change from baseline in ECG parameters: PR interval, QRS duration, QTcF Value
