Abstract
To the Editor: Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disease resulting in patches of depigmented skin and reduced quality of life. In a randomized, dose-ranging phase 2 study (NCT03099304) in 157 adult patients, the Janus kinase (JAK) 1/JAK2 inhibitor ruxolitinib cream produced substantial repigmentation of facial and total body vitiligo lesions after 24 weeks, with continued improvement through week 52, and was well tolerated.3 Here, we present treatment response subanalyses from the phase 2 trial.
