Background
Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disease that targets melanocytes, resulting in patches of skin depigmentation1
Disease pathogenesis is largely regulated by interferon-γ activation of the JAK signaling pathway2
Povorcitinib is an oral, small-molecule, selective JAK1 inhibitor with potential activity in the treatment of nonsegmental vitiligo
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of povorcitinib in patients with extensive nonsegmental vitiligo in a phase 2b trial (NCT04818346)
JAK, Janus kinase.

Interim data lock
BSA, body surface area; F-VASI, facial VASI; F-VASI50/75, ≥50%/≥75% reduction from baseline in F-VASI; qd, once daily; TEAE, treatment-emergent adverse event; T-VASI, total VASI;
