Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percent change from baseline in weekly average Peak Pruritus Numeric Rating Scale (PP-NRS) at week 24
Time Frame: Baseline; Week 24
The PP-NRS is a single-item measure assessing itch on a scale from 0 ("no itch") to 10 ("worst imaginable itch"). Participants will complete the PP-NRS daily, rating their worst level of itch during the past 24 hours.
Baseline; Week 24
Percentage of patients achieving an Investigator Global Assessment for Prurigo Nodularis Stage (IGA PN-S) score of 0 or 1
Time Frame: Baseline; Week 24
The percentage of patients achieving an IGA PN-S score of 0 or 1 with a ≥2-point reduction from baseline to Week 24. The IGA PN-S is a rating completed by the investigator during visits assessing the severity of the disease from 0 (Clear) to 4 (Severe)
Baseline; Week 24

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of subjects achieving at least a 4-point reduction from baseline in weekly average PP-NRS at Week 24
Time Frame: Baseline; Week 24
The PP-NRS is a single-item measure assessing itch on a scale from 0 ("no itch") to 10 ("worst imaginable itch"). Participants will complete the PP-NRS daily, rating their worst level of itch during the past 24 hours.
Baseline; Week 24
Percent change from baseline in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) scores at week 24
Time Frame: Baseline; Week 24
The DLQI is a 10-item questionnaire used to assess the impact of skin disease on the quality of life of the affected person. The 10 questions are scored from 0 to 3, giving a possible total score range from 0 (meaning no impact of skin disease on quality of life) to 30 (meaning maximum impact on quality of life). Completed by participants during study visits specified in the protocol.
Baseline; Week 24
Percent change from baseline in The Sleep Disturbance Numerical Rating Scale (SD-NRS) at week 24
Time Frame: Baseline; Week 24
The SD-NRS is a single-item measure assessing sleep disturbance on a scale from 0 ("no sleep disturbance") to 10 ("worst possible sleep disruption"). Participants will complete the SD-NRS daily, rating their sleep quality.
Baseline; Week 24
Percent change from baseline in 5D-Pruritus Scale at week 24
Time Frame: Baseline; Week 24
5-D pruritus' scale is a questionnaire assessing duration, degree, direction, disability, and distribution of the affected person's itch. Completed by participants during study visits specified in the protocol.
Baseline; Week 24
Percent change from baseline in Prurigo Activity Score (PAS) at week 24
Time Frame: Baseline; Week 24
The PAS is a 7-item assessment completed by the investigator. The items of the PAS evaluate the type, number, distribution, size, and activity of skin lesions.
Baseline; Week 24
Percent change from baseline in HADS anxiety and depression scale at week 24
Time Frame: Baseline; Week 24
The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Survey is a questionnaire that evaluates and monitors mental health in adults. Completed by participants during study visits specified in the protocol.
Baseline; Week 24
Percent change from baseline in Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) at week 24
Time Frame: Baseline; Week 24
The PGIC is a questionnaire assessing overall satisfaction and perceived change due to treatment, ranging from "very much improved" to "very much worse". Completed by participants during study visits specified in the protocol.
Baseline; Week 24
