- Any other skin disease that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with study cream application or study assessments
- Prior or current use of depigmentation treatments (eg, monobenzone)
- Concurrent conditions and history of other diseases as follows: a. Immunocompromised (eg, lymphoma, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome). b. History of malignant disease within 5 years before the Day 1 visit, except for adequately treated, nonmetastatic, nonmelanoma, skin cancer. c. Current and/or history of thrombosis, including deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. d. Current and/or history of liver disease, including known hepatitis B or C virus infection, with hepatic or biliary abnormalities. e. Current and/or history of HIV infection. f. Current and/or history of active tuberculosis; or current and/or history of latent tuberculosis unless adequately treated.
- Any serious illness or medical, physical, or psychiatric condition(s) that, in the investigator's opinion, would interfere with full participation in the study, including application of study cream and attending required study visits; pose a significant risk to the participant; or interfere with interpretation of study data. Examples include but are not limited to the following: a. Chronic or acute infection requiring treatment with systemic antibiotics, antivirals, antiparasitics, antiprotozoals, or antifungals within 2 weeks before the Day 1 visit. b. Active acute bacterial, fungal, or viral skin infection (eg, herpes simplex, herpes zoster, chickenpox, clinically infected AD, impetigo) within 1 week before the Day 1 visit. c. Clinically significant or uncontrolled cardiovascular disease, including unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction, or stroke within 6 months before the Day 1 visit; New York Heart Association Class III or IV congestive heart failure; or arrhythmia requiring therapy or uncontrolled hypertension (blood pressure > 150/90 mmHg), unless approved by the medical monitor/sponsor. d.

Note: Live-attenuated vaccines are not recommended during the double-blind, vehicle-controlled period. c. 4 weeks: − Melanocyte-stimulating agents (eg, afamelanotide). − Immunomodulating systemic medications (eg, corticosteroids, methotrexate, and cyclosporine). − Any other systemic therapies that could increase the skin sensitivity to UV/visible light or impact skin pigmentation (eg, tetracyclines and methoxypsoralens). d. 8 weeks: Laser or any kind of phototherapy, including tanning bed or intentional UV exposure. e. 5 half-lives or 12 weeks, whichever is longer, for any of the following if used to treat vitiligo: Biologic agents, investigational therapies, experimental therapies, or procedures. Investigational biologic agents should be discussed with the sponsor to determine whether a longer period of discontinuation is required

- Any of the following clinically significant, abnormal laboratory values at screening: a. Cytopenias: − Hemoglobin < 10 g/dL − Absolute neutrophil count < 1500/µL − Platelet count < 100,000/µL b. Liver function tests: − AST or ALT ≥ 2 × ULN − ALP and/or bilirubin > 1.5 × ULN (isolated bilirubin > 1.5 × ULN is acceptable if bilirubin is fractionated and direct bilirubin is < 35%) c. Estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 mL/min/1.73 m (using the Revised (bedside) Schwartz equation). d. Clinically significant, abnormal TSH or free T4 as determined by the investigator. e. Any other clinically significant laboratory result that, in the opinion of the investigator, poses a significant risk to the participant.
