Brief Summary
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.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (6)
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
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.
Baseline; Week 24
Supplementary primary outcome measure: Percentage change from baseline in F-VASI based on investigator assessment at Week 24
Baseline; Week 24
Supplementary primary outcome measure: Percentage change from baseline in F-VASI at Week 4, 8 and 16
F-VASI will be assessed by the investigator and by BICR.
Baseline; Week 4, Week 8; Week 16
Supplementary primary outcome measure: Achievement of F-VASI50 at Week 4, 8, 16 and 24
Proportion of patients achieving at least a 50% improvement from baseline in F-VASI.
Baseline; Week 4; Week 8; Week 16; Week 24
Supplementary primary outcome measure: Achievement of F-VASI75 at Week 4, 8, 16 and 24
Proportion of patients achieving at least a 75% improvement from baseline in F-VASI.
Baseline; Week 4; Week 8; Week 16; Week 24
Supplementary primary outcome measure: Achievement of F-VASI90 at Week 4, 8, 16 and 24
Proportion of patients achieving at least a 90% improvement from baseline in F-VASI.
Baseline; Week 4; Week 8; Week 16; Week 24
Secondary Outcomes (14)
Percentage change from baseline in Total Body Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (T-VASI) at Week 4, 8, 16 and 24
Baseline; Week 24
Achievement of T-VASI50 at Week 4, 8, 16 and 24
Baseline; Week 4; Week 8; Week 16; Week 24
Adverse events (AEs) leading to premature discontinuation of trial intervention
From start of trial intervention to last dose of trial intervention, assessed up to Week 24
Treatment-emergent AEs and serious AEs (SAEs)
From start of trial intervention up to 37 days after last dose of trial intervention (Follow-up visit)
Treatment-emergent AEs of special interest (AESI)
From start of trial intervention up to 37 days after last dose of trial intervention (Follow-up visit)
- +9 more secondary outcomes

Interventions
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- 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.
You may not qualify if:
- 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.
