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.
The trial includes three trial periods: Following a Screening period, during which it will be checked if participants are eligible to take part, eligible participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either ACT-777991 or placebo for 24 weeks (Trial intervention period). On completion of treatment, participants will be followed for 30 (+7) days (Follow-up period). Trial participation will end with a Follow-up visit (Participant Last Visit) at the end of the Follow-up period. The maximum trial duration for an individual participant is approximately 33 weeks including a screening period of up to 28 days, a treatment period of 24 weeks, and a follow-up period of up to 37 days.

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.
Time frame: Baseline; Week 24
Supplementary primary outcome measure: Percentage change from baseline in F-VASI based on investigator assessment at Week 24
Time frame: 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.
Time frame: 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.
Time frame: 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.
Time frame: 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.
Time frame: Baseline; Week 4; Week 8; Week 16; Week 24
Percentage change from baseline in Total Body Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (T-VASI) at Week 4, 8, 16 and 24
The T-VASI is calculated using a formula that includes contributions from all body regions, with higher scores indicating more severe disease. The F-VASI is used as the score for the 'face' component , i.e., the face is not be scored again. Negative changes from baseline indicate improvement. T-VASI will be assessed by the investigator.
Time frame: Baseline; Week 24
Achievement of T-VASI50 at Week 4, 8, 16 and 24
Proportion of patients achieving at least a 50% improvement from baseline in T-VASI.
Time frame: Baseline; Week 4; Week 8; Week 16; Week 24
