Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of MK-6194 in participants with non-segmental vitiligo. The primary hypothesis is that at least 1 MK-6194 dose is superior to placebo with regards to percent change from baseline in Facial Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (F-VASI) at Week 24.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Change from Baseline in Facial Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (F-VASI) at Week 24 VASI is a validated scoring method that assesses the extent and severity of areas of vitiligo depigmentation. F-VASI will be calculated to indicate facial lesions, using the following scale: At 100% depigmentation, no pigment is present; at 90%, specks of pigment are present; at 75%, the depigmented area exceeds the pigmented area; at 50%, the depigmented and pigmented areas are equal; at 25%, the pigmented area exceeds the depigmented area; and at 10%, only specks of depigmentation are present. Baseline and Week 24
Primary Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE) An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention whether or not considered related to the study intervention. Up to approximately 24 weeks
Primary Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to an AE An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention whether or not considered related to the study intervention. Up to approximately 24 weeks
Secondary Change from Baseline in Total Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (T-VASI) at Week 24 VASI is a validated scoring method that assesses the extent and severity of areas of vitiligo depigmentation. T-VASI will be calculated to indicate all lesions on the body, using the following scale: At 100% depigmentation, no pigment is present; at 90%, specks of pigment are present; at 75%, the depigmented area exceeds the pigmented area; at 50%, the depigmented and pigmented areas are equal; at 25%, the pigmented area exceeds the depigmented area; and at 10%, only specks of depigmentation are present. Baseline and Week 24
