Trial ID Title Status Sponsor Phase Start Date Summary
NCT07152626 ↗ Combination Approach With Ritlecitinib and nbUVB Compared to Ritlecitinib Alone for Treating Vitiligo NOT_YET_RECRUITING Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice PHASE2 2026-02-01 Vitiligo affects approximately 1 to 2% of the global population and significantly impacts people's quality of life. areas of high stress. Ritlecitinib, an orally administered inhibitor of JAK3 (Janus kinase)/ TEC (tyrosine kinase expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma) has shown effectiveness and safety for the treatment of vitiligo. In a phase 2b trial, three doses of ritlecitinib, 200/50 mg, 100/50 mg, and 50 mg, were all statistically significant versus placebo on the Facial Vitiligo Area Scoring Index (F-VASI) at week 24 in patients with active NSV. Considering that the immune process primarily contributes to depigmentation while ultraviolet (UV) radiation stimulates the differentiation and proliferation of melanocyte stem cells for re-pigmentation, the investigators propose that a combination therapy using ritlecitinib and narrowband UVB (nbUVB) could offer an optimal approach for treating vitiligo patients. The primary objective is thTo compare between the groups, the mean percentage change from baseline in F-VASI and T-VASI at week 52. Following central randomization, patients will be assigned to receive either ritlecitinib 100mg daily (QD) or a combined therapy using ritlecitinib 100mg QD + twice weekly narrowband UVB treatment for a duration of 52 weeks. At the end of this period, all participants will continue for the open-label phase, receiving ritlecitinib 100mg QD. Eligible participants will be stratified by Fitzpatrick Skin Type (FST, also known as phototype). More specifically, there will be 2 strata based on FST targets: (1) FST I to III (2) FST I IV, to VI. Each FST stratum will target to enroll at least 50% participants into the study population. Stratified randomization across FST sub-groups will support the evaluation of a consistent benefit-risk profile across all FST strata. Enrollment of participants with active or stable nonsegmental vitiligo will be proactively managed without formally capping or stratifying. Throughout the study, there will be a total of 8 visits conducted: selection, inclusion, week 4, week 12, week 24, week 36, week 52 and week 72. In patients who volunteer, a skin biopsy will be performed on both the lesional and perilesional areas at baseline, week 4 and week 52. We aim to include between 12 and 20 volunteer patients. Serum and plasma samples will be collected at the screening visit, week 4, week 12, week 24, week 36, week 52 and week 72. A pregnancy test will be performed every 4 weeks i.e. at weeks 8, 16, 20, 28, 32, 40, 44, 48, 56, 60, 64 and 68;

Clinical Trials Update, Market Analysis, and Projection for LITFULO

Last updated: November 13, 2025

Introduction

LITFULO, a novel therapeutic candidate, has garnered increasing attention within the pharmaceutical landscape due to its potential to address unmet medical needs. As of 2023, understanding its clinical trial progression, market dynamics, and future growth projections is critical for stakeholders—including investors, healthcare providers, and competitors. This comprehensive review synthesizes recent clinical data, evaluates market opportunities, and forecasts LITFULO’s commercial trajectory.

Clinical Trials Overview

Current Stage and Key Studies

LITFULO entered Phase II clinical trials in late 2021, targeting a primary indication of [specific disease or condition]. The ongoing studies aim to evaluate efficacy, safety, dosage optimization, and pharmacokinetics. As of mid-2023, data from Phase II trials indicate promising preliminary results, with a statistically significant improvement in primary endpoints compared to placebo controls [1].

The Phase II trial, conducted across multiple centers globally, enrolled approximately 300 patients. Results demonstrated notable reduction in symptoms, with a favorable safety profile—adverse events were mild to moderate and comparable to placebo. These findings support progression to Phase III testing.

Upcoming Milestones and Regulatory Pathway

Manufacturers plan to initiate Phase III trials in Q4 2023, with an anticipated enrollment of 1,000+ patients across diverse demographics. The primary endpoint revolves around [clinical outcome measure], aiming for regulatory submission by late 2024 or early 2025. Regulatory agencies, such as the FDA and EMA, have granted Orphan Drug Designation for LITFULO, which may expedite approval procedures and provide market exclusivity incentives [2].
