Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of Participants Achieving a ≥ 75% Improvement From Baseline in the Face Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (F-VASI75) Score at Week 24 | Baseline; Week 24 | An F-VASI75 responder achieved at least 75% 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). |

Outcome results
Percentage of Participants Achieving a ≥ 75% Improvement From Baseline in the Face Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (F-VASI75) Score at Week 24
An F-VASI75 responder achieved at least 75% 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
Population: Intent-to-Treat Population: all randomized participants. Treatment groups for this population were defined according to the treatment assignment at the time of randomization. Missing F-VASI scores were imputed by Multiple Imputation with Fully Conditional Specification. The multiple imputation method used treatment and observed stratification factors as predicators.

Change From Baseline in Children's Dermatology Life Quality Index (CDLQI) During the Treatment Period (Double-Blind and Treatment-Extension Periods)
The DLQI is a 10-question validated questionnaire for use in participants aged 16 years and over to measure how much the skin problem has affected the participant over the previous 7 days. The CDLQI is the youth/children's version of the DLQI and was completed by adolescents aged ≥ 12 years to \< 16 years. Each question is scored as: very much = 3; quite a lot = 2; only a little = 1; not at all = 0; question unanswered = 0. For Question 7: Prevented school = 3. The CDLQI was calculated by summing the score of each question, resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the more quality of life is impaired.

Percentage Change From Baseline in Facial Body Surface Area (F-BSA) 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 to the jawline and laterally from the corner of the mouth to the tragus. The area Face did not include 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 = (\[post-Baseline (BL) value minus BL value\]/BL value) X 100.
Time frame: Baseline; Week 24

Percentage of Participants Achieving a ≥ 25% Improvement in the Face Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (F-VASI25) Score at Week 24
An F-VASI25 responder achieved at least 25% 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).
Time frame: Baseline; Week 24
Population: ITT Population. Missing F-VASI scores were imputed by Multiple Imputation with Fully Conditional Specification. The multiple imputation method used treatment and observed stratification factors as predicators.
