Patients with vitiligo will now have access to the first ever at-home therapy for skin repigmentation approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
The FDA announced the approval of Incyte’s ruxolitinib cream on Monday based on data collected from two duplicate Phase 3 clinical trials that found 30% of patients using the cream regained 75% or more skin repigmentation on the face and roughly 20% of patients regained at least 50% or more repigmentation on their body after 24 weeks.
