Placebo Group
Group I: Cohort B : roxolitinib creamExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants who did not achieve ≥ F-VASI90 at Week 52 of the parent studies will be assigned to Cohort B and will continue ruxolitinib cream.
Group II: Cohort A : ruxolitinib creamExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants who achieve complete or almost complete facial repigmentation (achieve ≥ F VASI90) at Week 52 in the parent study will be assigned to Cohort A and will be randomized 1:1 to ruxolitinib cream.
Group III: Cohort A : VehiclePlacebo Group1 Intervention
Participants who achieve complete or almost complete facial repigmentation (ie, achieve ≥ F VASI90) at Week 52 in the parent study will be assigned to Cohort A and will be randomized 1:1 to vehicle cream.
