Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

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.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

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.

Washout period

A planned gap after a treatment, so that its effects can lessen before the study treatment or a study assessment. Ask the study team and the doctor who prescribed it before changing any medicine.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. WI-NRS4 Response at Week 12

    WI-NRS4 was defined as the percentage of participants achieving a ≥4-point improvement (reduction) in Worst-Itch Numeric Rating Scale (WI-NRS) score from baseline. The WI-NRS is a patient-reported outcome comprised of a single item rated on a scale from 0 ("no itch") to 10 ("worst imaginable itch"). Participants assessed their worst level of prurigo nodularis-related itch during the past 24 hours on a scale of 0 to 10. The WI-NRS score for baseline was determined by averaging the 7 daily WI-NRS scores before Day 1 (i.e., Days -7 to -1). The by-visit WI-NRS score for post-baseline visits was determined by averaging the 7 daily WI-NRS scores before the visit day. Participants with missing Week 12 data for any reason, including treatment discontinuation (due to development of atopic dermatitis lesions or any other cause), were defined as nonresponders.

The WI-NRS is a patient-reported outcome comprised of a single item rated on a scale from 0 ("no itch") to 10 ("worst imaginable itch"). Participants assessed their worst level of prurigo nodularis-related itch during the past 24 hours on a scale of 0 to 10. The WI-NRS score for baseline was determined by averaging the 7 daily WI-NRS scores before Day 1 (i.e., Days -7 to -1). The by-visit WI-NRS score for post-baseline visits was determined by averaging the 7 daily WI-NRS scores before the visit day. Participants with missing Week 12 data for any reason, including treatment discontinuation (due to development of atopic dermatitis lesions or any other cause), were defined as nonresponders.

SecondaryDBVC Period: Change From Baseline in the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Total Score at Each Post-baseline Visit

The DLQI is a simple, 10-question, validated questionnaire to measure how much the skin problem has affected the participant over the previous 7 days. Each question was scored as: 3 (very much), 2 (a lot), 1 (a little), 0 (not at all or not relevant). The DLQI total score was calculated by summing the score of each question, resulting in a maximum of 30 and a minimum of 0. The higher the score, the more the quality of life was impaired. Total DLQI scores were categorized as follows: 0 to 1 (no effect), 2 to 5 (small effect), 6 to 10 (moderate effect), 11 to 20 (very large effect), and 21 to 30 (extremely large effect). Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-baseline visit minus the baseline visit.

The EQ-5D-5L is a standardized instrument for use as a measure of health outcome. The EQ-5D-5L consists of 2 sections: the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ VAS. The descriptive system comprises 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 response levels, which are coded by single-digit numbers: 1 = no problems, 2 = slight problems, 3 = moderate problems, 4 = severe problems, 5 = unable to/extreme problems. The EQ VAS records the participant's self-rated health on a vertical VAS (0-100), on which the endpoints are labeled "the best health you can imagine" (100 score) and "the worst health you can imagine" (0 score). Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-baseline value minus the baseline value.

SecondaryDBVC Period: Number of Participants With Any Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)

An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use of a drug in humans, whether or not it is considered drug related. An AE can therefore have been any unfavorable or unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of study cream. A TEAE was defined as any AE reported for the first time or the worsening of a pre-existing event after the first application of study drug.

An AE can therefore have been any unfavorable or unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of study cream. A TEAE was defined as any AE reported for the first time or the worsening of a pre-existing event after the first application of study drug. The severity of TEAEs was assessed using Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0 Grades 1 through 5. The investigator made an assessment of intensity for each TEAE and assigned it to one of the following categories: Grade 1, mild; Grade 2, moderate; Grade 3, severe or medically significant but not immediately life threatening; Grade 4, life-threatening consequences; Grade 5, fatal.

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.
