Brief summary

This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase II clinical trial designed to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of LW402 tablets in participants with non-segmental vitiligo. Drawing on the prior/preclinical data of LW402 tablets, this clinical trial will incorporate three dose groups: 50 mg twice daily (BID), 100 mg BID, and 150 mg BID. The trial will be structured into a screening period (maximum 5 weeks), a treatment period (52 weeks, encompassing a 24-week main trial phase and a 28-week extension phase), and a safety follow-up period (4 weeks). The maximum duration of participation in this study will be 61 weeks. Following the completion of 24-week data collection for all trial participants, unblinding will be performed in accordance with the pre-specified procedure. Subsequently, based on the unblinded data results, regulatory communication will be conducted with the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) regarding the initiation of the Phase III confirmatory clinical trial. Participants who have undergone unblinding will continue to attend scheduled study visits to complete the trial.

The maximum duration of participation in this study will be 61 weeks. Following the completion of 24-week data collection for all trial participants, unblinding will be performed in accordance with the pre-specified procedure. Subsequently, based on the unblinded data results, regulatory communication will be conducted with the Center for Drug Evaluation (CDE) regarding the initiation of the Phase III confirmatory clinical trial. Participants who have undergone unblinding will continue to attend scheduled study visits to complete the trial. Eligible trial participants will be stratified by disease severity (T-VASI \< 15 vs. ≥ 15) and randomly allocated in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to three active treatment groups (50 mg BID, 100 mg BID, and 150 mg BID) and one placebo group. The planned sample size is 45 participants per group, with a total of 180 participants expected to be enrolled. Following 24 weeks of continuous dosing, participants in the placebo group will be re-randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to the 50 mg BID, 100 mg BID, and 150 mg BID treatment groups for continued dosing until Week 52.

Intervention model description

Eligible trial participants will be stratified by disease severity (T-VASI \< 15 vs. ≥ 15) and randomly allocated in a 1:1:1:1 ratio to three active treatment groups (50 mg BID( twice daily), 100 mg BID, and 150 mg BID) and one placebo group. The planned sample size is 45 participants per group, with a total of 180 participants expected to be enrolled. Following 24 weeks of continuous dosing, participants in the placebo group will be re-randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to the 50 mg BID, 100 mg BID, and 150 mg BID treatment groups for continued dosing until Week 52.
