Ruxolitinib cream is a topical formulation applied as a thin film to affected areas.
Vehicle cream is matching in appearance to ruxolitinib cream and is to be applied in the same manner as ruxolitinib cream.
Percentage of Participants Treated With Ruxolitinib Cream Who Achieved a ≥ 50% Improvement From Baseline in Facial Assessment of the Vitiligo Area and Severity Index Score (F-VASI50) Compared With Participants Treated With Vehicle at Week 24
An F-VASI50 responder achieved at least 50% improvement from Baseline in F-VASI, measured by the percentage of vitiligo involvement (percentage of body surface area \[BSA\]) and the degree of depigmentation: 0% (no depigmentation), 10% (only specks of depigmentation), 25% (pigmented area exceeded depigmented area), 50% (depigmented and pigmented area was equal), 75% (depigmented area exceeded pigmented area), 90% (specks of pigment), or 100% (no pigment). The percentage of BSA (hand unit) vitiligo involvement was estimated to the nearest 0.1% by the Investigator using the Palmar Method. The Investigator used his/her hand to mimic the participant's hand size to evaluate the percentage of BSA vitiligo involvement. F-VASI was then derived by multiplying the values assessed for the vitiligo involvement by the percentage of affected skin for each site on the face and summing the values of all sites (possible range: 0-3; lower scores indicate increased improvement).
Time frame: Baseline; Week 24
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Facial Assessment of the Physician's Global Vitiligo Assessment (F-PhGVA) of Clear or Almost Clear
The severity of vitiligo was assessed by the physician using the PhGVA, which has a 5-point scale. 0=clear, no signs of vitiligo; 1=almost clear, only specks of depigmentation present; 2=mild disease, pigmented and depigmented areas are equal; 3=moderate disease, more or complete depigmentation (may include \< 30% hair whitening); 4=severe disease, complete depigmentation plus \> 30% hair whitening.
Time frame: Week 24
Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a ≥ 50% Improvement From Baseline in Full Body Assessment of Vitiligo Area and Severity Index (T-VASI) at Week 52
T-VASI was measured by the percentage of vitiligo involvement from all body regions (percentage of BSA; assessed by the Investigator) and the degree of depigmentation: 0% (no depigmentation), 10% (only specks of depigmentation), 25% (pigmented area exceeded depigmented area), 50% (depigmented and pigmented area was equal), 75% (depigmented area exceeded pigmented area), 90% (specks of pigment present), 100% (no pigment present). T-VASI was derived by multiplying the vitiligo involvement values by the percentage of affected skin for each body site and summing all values (possible range: 0-100; lower scores indicate increased improvement).

Mean Change From Baseline in F-VASI Score at Week 24
F-VASI was measured by the percentage of vitiligo involvement (percentage of BSA) and the degree of depigmentation: 0% (no depigmentation), 10% (only specks of depigmentation), 25% (pigmented area exceeded depigmented area), 50% (depigmented and pigmented area was equal), 75% (depigmented area exceeded pigmented area), 90% (specks of pigment), or 100% (no pigment). The percentage of BSA (hand unit) vitiligo involvement was estimated to the nearest 0.1% by the Investigator using the Palmar Method. The Investigator used his/her hand to mimic the participant's hand size to evaluate the percentage of BSA vitiligo involvement. F-VASI was then derived by multiplying the values assessed for the vitiligo involvement by the percentage of affected skin for each site on the face and summing the values of all sites (possible range: 0-3; lower scores indicate increased improvement). Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

Percentage Change From Baseline in F-BSA Repigmentation at Week 24
F-BSA involvement was the proportion of the facial body surface area with vitiligo. The area "Face" was defined as including the area on the forehead to the original hairline, on the cheek to the jawline vertically and laterally from the corner of the mouth to the tragus. The area "Face" did not include the surface area of the lips, scalp, ears, or neck, but included the nose and eyelids. Body surface area assessment was performed by the Palmar Method. Body surface area was estimated to the nearest 0.1%. The approximate size of the participant's entire palmar surface (i.e., the palm plus 5 digits) was considered as 1% BSA, and the approximate size of the participant's thumb was considered as 0.1% BSA. Percentage change = (\[post-Baseline value minus Baseline value\]/Baseline value) X 100.

Staging is based on cutaneous and hair pigmentation in vitiligo patches. Disease is staged 0 to 4 on the largest macule in each of 5 body regions, except hands and feet, which are assessed separately and globally as 1 unique area. Stage 0=normal pigmentation, Stage 1=incomplete pigmentation, Stage 2=complete depigmentation (a few white hairs do not change stage), Stage 3=partial hair whitening (\<30%), Stage 4=complete hair whitening; total score of 0 (less severe disease) to 20 (more severe disease). Disease progression is based on assessing the largest patch in each of 5 body areas: -1=regressive vitiligo (ongoing subclinical repigmentation), 0=similar limits, 1=progressive vitiligo (ongoing subclinical depigmentation); total score of -5 (improving disease) to +5 (more severe disease spread).

Time to Achieve an F-VASI50: Number of Days From the Date of the First Application in the Double-Blind Period to the Date of the First Evaluation at Which the Participant Met the F-VASI50 Score
An F-VASI50 responder achieved at least 50% improvement from Baseline in F-VASI, measured by the percentage of vitiligo involvement (percentage of BSA) and the degree of depigmentation: 0% (no depigmentation), 10% (only specks of depigmentation), 25% (pigmented area exceeded depigmented area), 50% (depigmented and pigmented area was equal), 75% (depigmented area exceeded pigmented area), 90% (specks of pigment), or 100% (no pigment). The percentage of BSA (hand unit) vitiligo involvement was estimated to the nearest 0.1% by the Investigator using the Palmar Method. The Investigator used his/her hand to mimic the participant's hand size to evaluate the percentage of BSA vitiligo involvement. F-VASI was then derived by multiplying the values assessed for the vitiligo involvement by the percentage of affected skin for each site on the face and summing the values of all sites (possible range: 0-3; lower scores indicate increased improvement).
