Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Male or female, age 18 years or older at consent.
  • Pruritus associated with prurigo nodularis, atopic dermatitis, or psoriasis.
  • Female subjects of must be willing to practice highly effective until 5 weeks after last dose of study drug.
  • Willing and able to comply with study visits and study related requirements including providing written .

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • within 5 years prior to enrollment (exception for non-melanoma cutaneous malignancies).
  • Any known major psychiatric diagnosis, such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, psychotic disorder, intellectual disability, severe alcohol use disorder, which may confound the assessment of serlopitant safety or efficacy, or interfere with the subject's ability to comply with protocol-mandated activities, within 3 years prior to enrollment.
  • Untreated or inadequately treated thyroid, adrenal, or pituitary nodules or disease, or history of thyroid malignancy; or the prescense of any medical condition or disability, that could interfere with the assessment of safety in this study or compromise the safety of the subject.
  • therapy within 4 weeks or 5-half-lives prior to enrollment (whichever is longer) or expected participation in another clinical study involving an investigational product or device during the subject's participation in this study.
  • Treatment with other neurokinin-1 receptor (NK1-R) antagonists (e.g., aprepitant, fosaprepitant, rolapitant) within 4 weeks.
  • Treatment with strong cytochrome P450 3A4 inhibitors within 4 weeks.
  • Currently pregnant or breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant during the study.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Subjects With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events

    Treatments emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) were recorded from the first study drug administration through the follow-up visit. Severity of all AEs were graded using the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events v4.03. During the period between informed consent and first study drug dose, only SAEs caused by a protocol-mandated intervention were collected.

    Time frame: From baseline until the Follow-up (F/U) visit which occurred 35 days (+ 7 days) after the Week 52 visit or the last dose of study drug for subjects who discontinued study drug early.

Results

Posted Nov 30, 2020
Limitations and caveats
Due to a corporate decision to no longer pursue an indication of treatment for pruritus, and further to terminate the development program for serlopitant, the study was terminated prematurely.

Participant flow

The study was conducted at 120 sites from 15 March 2018 to 08 April 2020. All participants who met the study entry criteria received daily oral doses of serlopitant 5 mg tablet.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 20, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
