Topical Ruxolitinib Evaluation in Immune-related Vitiligo-like Depigmentation (TRuE-VLD)

20. července 2026 aktualizováno: Lara Maul-Duwendag, University of Zurich

Topical Ruxolitinib for the Treatment of Immune-related Vitiligo-like Depigmentation: A Prospective, Multicentre Study of a Topical JAK-inhibitor

White spot disease is a common side effect on the skin in the context of cancer treatments with immunotherapies. There is no standard therapy yet for white spot caused by cancer therapies. There is already research in humans on the treatment of white spot disease. Previous human studies with ruxolitinib cream have shown that approximately 30% of patients with white spot disease have achieved a 75% improvement (re-pigmentation) of their affected areas after 24 weeks and approximately 50% of patients have achieved a 75% improvement after 52 weeks. It is also know that a 50% improvement was observed in over 50% of patients after 24 weeks and a 90% improvement in over 15% of patients. However, these studies to date have not included patients with white spot disease caused by cancer therapy. Therefore, we do not know how well the cream works in this situation. In this study, the investigators are therefore examining whether the investigational substance ruxolitinib is effective and well tolerated in white spot disease caused by cancer therapy. The test substance has not yet been approved in Switzerland. Only once the efficacy of the investigational substance ruxolitinib has been scientifically investigated and proven can it be approved in Switzerland and used to treat white spot disease caused by cancer therapy.

Proportion of patients achieving a Facial vitiligo scoring index of 75% (F-VASI75) at week 24
Časové okno: week 24
The F-VASI is a measure for assessing the success of treatment. The F-VASI assesses the percentage of repigmentation on the face. Achieving an F-VASI of 75% means that a 75% improvement in facial repigmentation has been achieved. This is determined by visually assessing the percentage of skin area that has returned to its normal color as a result of the treatment. The F-VASI is made up of the degree of depigmentation in percent and the size of the affected skin surface in percent. Percentage of depigmentation (0% = no depigmentation present, 100% = completely depigmented skin) is multiplied by the size of the affected skin area on the face in percent.

Proportion of patients achieving a F-VASI of 25%, 50% and 90% (F-VASI25/50/90)
Časové okno: week 24 and 52
The F-VASI assesses the percentage of repigmentation on the face. Achieving an F-VASI of 50% means that a 50% improvement in facial repigmentation has been achieved. The same applies to an F-VASI of 25% or 90%; this corresponds to 25% respectively 90% repigmentation. The F-VASI is made up of the degree of depigmentation in percent and the size of the affected skin surface in percent. Percentage of depigmentation (0% = no depigmentation present, 100% = completely depigmented skin) is multiplied by the size of the affected skin area on the face in percent.
week 24 and 52
Proportion of patients achieving a F-VASI 75 only at week 52
Časové okno: week 52
The F-VASI assesses the percentage of repigmentation on the face. Achieving an F-VASI of 75% means that a 75% improvement in facial repigmentation has been achieved. The F-VASI is made up of the degree of depigmentation in percent and the size of the affected skin surface in percent. Percentage of depigmentation (0% = no depigmentation present, 100% = completely depigmented skin) is multiplied by the size of the affected skin area on the face in percent.
week 52
Proportion of patients achieving a Total Vitiligo Area Scoring Index of 25%, 50%, 75% and 90% (T-VASI25/50/75/90)
Časové okno: week 24 and 52
T-VASI is a measure used to evaluate the success of vitiligo treatment over the entire body. A T-VASI of for instance 75% means that a 75% improvement in repigmentation of the entire skin of the body has been achieved. The T-VASI is calculated by estimating and weighting the area of depigmented skin and the degree of repigmentation. Percentage of depigmentation (0% = no depigmentation present, 100% = completely depigmented skin) is multiplied by the affected body surface area in percent. The unit of "Proportion of patients achieving a Total Vitiligo Area Scoring Index of 25%, 50%, 75% and 90% (T-VASI25/50/75/90)" is a percentage. It is looked at what percentage of participants have achieved an improvement in their T-VASI score. It is looked at how many participants have achieved a 25% improvement, how many a 50% improvement, how many a 75% improvement and how many a 90% improvement in their T-VASI score.

week 24 and 52
Percentage change from baseline in the Facial Physician's Global Vitiligo Assessment (F-PhGVA) and Total Physician's Global Vitiligo Assessment (T-PhGVA)
Časové okno: week 24 and 52

The F-PhGVA is an assessment tool used by physicians to evaluate the severity of facial vitiligo. It is based on a global assessment by the treating physician and takes into account various aspects of the disease, including the area and extent of depigmentation as well as the aesthetic impairment. The assessment is made on a numerical scale, categorizing different degrees of severity of facial vitiligo. The scale ranges from 0 to 4, with 0 corresponding to skin with no signs of vitiligo/complete repigmentation and 4 corresponding to very severe vitiligo.

The T-PhGVA is a global assessment of the disease across the entire body. It has the same numerical scale as the F-PhGVA, ranging from 0 to 4, with 0 corresponding to skin with no signs of vitiligo/complete repigmentation and 4 corresponding to very severe vitiligo.

Both scores are useful tools for evaluating the success of treatment for vitiligo on the face and the entire body and for documenting the progress of patients.
