A Phase IIb Dose-ranging Study to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of GIA632 in Participants With Non-segmental Vitiligo
The main purpose of this multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2b study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of GIA632 in participants with NSV and to identify the optimal dose to be promoted into the confirmatory Phase 3 program.
A Study of Zasocitinib in Adults With Nonsegmental Vitiligo
Vitiligo is a long-term autoimmune condition that causes the skin to lose its color. The body's germ-fighting system (immune system) mistakenly attacks the skin cells (melanocytes) which produce the pigment that gives the skin color (melanin). This leads to the formation of patches of skin with less or no pigment (depigmentation). These patches can occur anywhere on the body. In the nonsegmental f...
