Study summary

The main objective of this study is to assess the long-term durability of response over a 24-week period following withdrawal of nemolizumab in participants with prurigo nodularis (PN) who previously responded to treatment in the Long-term-Extension (LTE) study RD.06.SPR.202699 (NCT05052983). The secondary objective of this study is to assess the safety of nemolizumab compared to placebo over a 24-week period in participants with PN who previously responded to treatment in the LTE study.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Participants who achieved a clinical response at Week 52 of the LTE study RD.06.SPR.202699, defined as:

    1. Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score of 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear) AND
    2. Greater than or equal to (>=)4-point improvement in weekly average of PP NRS score from baseline of the lead-in study Note: Lead-in study baseline is defined as baseline Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (PP NRS) score in the Phase 3 studies RD.06.SPR.202685 or RD.06.SPR.203065 for participants who rolled over into the LTE from these studies. For participants who entered the LTE study from the Phase 2 study RD.03.SPR.115828, the baseline PP NRS score at entry into the LTE study RD.06.SPR.202699 will be used
  2. Participants with uninterrupted dosing of nemolizumab in the LTE study RD.06.SPR.202699 for 3 months before the Week 52 visit
  3. Participants willing and able to transfer into the study at the time of completion of the Week 52 visit in the LTE study RD.06.SPR.202699
  4. Female participants of (i.e., fertile, following menarche and until becoming unless permanently sterile) must agree to use an adequate and approved method of throughout the study and for 12 weeks after the last study drug injection. Adequate and approved methods of contraception applicable for the participant and/or her partner are defined in the Protocol
  5. Female participants of non-childbearing potential must meet one of the following criteria:

    1. Absence of menstrual bleeding for 1 year prior to baseline without any other medical reason, confirmed with follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range
    2. Documented hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, or bilateral oophorectomy at least 3 months before the study
  6. Participants willing and able to comply with all of the time commitments and procedural requirements of the clinical study protocol, including periodic weekly recordings by the participant using an electronic handheld device provided for this study.
  7. Understand and sign an form (ICF) before any procedure(s) are performed

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Participants who, during their participation in a prior nemolizumab study, experienced an adverse event which in the opinion of the Investigator could indicate that continued treatment with nemolizumab may present an unreasonable risk for the participant
  2. Body weight less than (\<) 30 kg (kilogram)
  3. Receipt of prohibited medications, including rescue therapy, in the LTE study RD.06.SPR.202699 within 6 months of the Week 52 visit
  4. Pregnant women (positive pregnancy test result at baseline visit), breastfeeding women, or women planning a pregnancy during the clinical study
  5. Any medical or psychological condition that may put the participant at significant risk according to the Investigator's judgment, if he/she participates in the clinical study, or may interfere with study assessments (e.g., poor venous access or needle-phobia)
  6. Planning or expected to have a major surgical procedure during the clinical study
  7. Participants unwilling to refrain from using prohibited medications during the clinical study
  8. History of alcohol or substance abuse within 6 months of baseline
  9. Participants with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 infection within 2 weeks before baseline
  10. Any condition the Investigator deems incompatible with participant participation in 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.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

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.

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. Time From Baseline to Relapse Meeting At Least 1 of the Defined Criteria

    Time from baseline to relapse, defined as meeting at least 1 of the following criteria. 1. Increase in (weekly average of the) PP NRS score \>=4 points from baseline 2. Increase in IGA score \>=2 points from baseline. Time to relapse was censored at the last assessment of IGA and PP NRS prior to treatment discontinuation or use of prohibited medication

    Time frame: Baseline up to Week 24

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Participants Maintaining Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) Success at Each Scheduled Visit

    IGA is a 5-point scale used by the investigator or trained designee to evaluate the global severity of PN. The Investigator reviewed the participant's skin and give a score of 0 (Clear), 1 (Almost clear), 2 (Mild), 3 (Moderate), or 4 (Severe). Treatment response/success was defined as 0 (clear) or 1 (almost clear).

    Time frame: Baseline up to Week 24

  2. Percentage of Participants With Increase in Peak Pruritus (PP) Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) Score of >= 4 Points From Baseline at Each Scheduled Visit

    Pruritus NRS is a scale that is used by the participants to report the intensity of their pruritus (itch) during the last 24 hours. For maximum itch intensity: the scores are provided on a 11-point scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being 'no itch' and 10 being 'worst itch imaginable'. Higher scores indicate worse outcome.

    Time frame: Baseline up to Week 24

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 Oct 8, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
