DelveInsight’s “Vitiligo Pipeline Insight, 2025” report delivers comprehensive insights on the vitiligo pipeline, showcasing a dynamic landscape of emerging therapies and a promising outlook for patients suffering from this challenging autoimmune skin condition. The report highlights a vibrant R&D environment with numerous novel drug candidates in various stages of development, including both clinical and nonclinical stage products.
Vitiligo, a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by the loss of melanocytes and subsequent depigmentation of the skin, hair, and mucous membranes, impacts millions globally. While conventional treatments have offered limited success, the pipeline reflects a paradigm shift towards targeted therapies and personalized medicine approaches aiming to restore pigmentation and improve patient quality of life.
Explore Key Drug Candidates and Innovations in Vitiligo Treatment @ Key Emerging Vitiligo Therapies.
Key highlights from the DelveInsight analysis:
Robust Pipeline: Over 20 key companies are actively engaged in developing vitiligo therapies, with a strong emphasis on innovative mechanisms of action.
JAK Inhibitors: These inhibitors target the immune response implicated in melanocyte destruction and have demonstrated promising repigmentation in clinical trials. Several JAK inhibitors are in late-stage development, including Upadacitinib (AbbVie) and Ritlecitinib (Pfizer), both in Phase 3 trials.
Melanocyte-Stimulating Agents: These agents, such as Afamelanotide (Clinuvel Pharmaceuticals), enhance melanin production and are undergoing Phase 3 trials in combination with phototherapy.
Immunomodulators and Targeted Therapies: Emerging candidates like AMG-714 (Amgen), an anti-IL-15 monoclonal antibody in Phase 2, target specific immune pathways to halt disease progression and promote repigmentation.
Preclinical and Clinical Stage Products: The analysis covers products across all development stages, including preclinical studies (e.g., assessing novel approaches like PCSK9 inhibitors), Phase 1 trials (e.g., EB06 by Edesa Biotech targeting CXCL10), and Phase 2/3 candidates.
According to the report, several promising candidates are advancing in the clinical stage. For instance, AbbVie’s Upadacitinib (RINVOQ), a JAK1 inhibitor, has shown efficacy in restoring pigmentation in Phase 3 trials and is expected to continue through 52 weeks. Pfizer’s Ritlecitinib (LITFULO), targeting JAK3 and TEC kinases, successfully completed a Phase 2b trial and is currently in Phase 3, demonstrating stabilization of active lesions and repigmentation of stable ones. Additionally, Amgen’s AMG 714, an anti-IL-15 monoclonal antibody, is in Phase 2 trials, aiming to block the Trm immune cells that contribute to melanocyte destruction.
Meanwhile, preclinical research is exploring novel approaches, such as β-catenin agonists like SKL2001, which promote melanocyte proliferation and migration, and PCSK9 inhibitors, traditionally used to lower cholesterol, which have surprisingly been linked to a reduced risk of vitiligo in genetic studies. Further, a natural compound derived from gut-friendly bacteria showed promise in slowing vitiligo progression and restoring skin pigmentation in mice, highlighting the ongoing search for diverse therapeutic strategies in both early and late development stages.

The report also highlights inactive pipeline products, providing a holistic view of the development landscape. For instance, Dermavant’s topical dual JAK/SYK inhibitor, Cerdulatinib (DMVT-502), despite undergoing Phase 2a trials, was later removed from the company’s prioritized pipeline. Aclaris Therapeutics completed Phase II trials for ATI-50002, a topical JAK1/JAK3 inhibitor, but its development for vitiligo has ceased. Similarly, Arcutis Biotherapeutics terminated a Phase 2a trial assessing their selective topical JAK1 inhibitor, ARQ-252, in combination with NB-UVB phototherapy. Lastly, while PT101, an engineered IL-2 mutein developed by Pandion Therapeutics, showed promise in expanding regulatory T cells and completed Phase 1a trials, it was acquired by Merck and is no longer being actively developed specifically for vitiligo under its original designation. These examples underscore the complexities of drug development, where even promising candidates may not advance through all stages due to various factors.
