Overview
Prurigo Nodularis Research Study
Prurigo nodularis (PN) is a chronic skin condition that causes firm, itchy bumps on the skin. The itching can be intense and ongoing, often affecting sleep, daily activities, and overall quality of life.
This clinical research study is evaluating an investigational medication to see if it may help reduce itching and improve skin symptoms in people living with PN. Researchers are also studying how safe the treatment is and how well it is tolerated over time.
Some participants in this study may receive a placebo, which looks like the study medication but does not contain active medicine. This helps researchers better understand how the treatment works.
The goal of this prurigo nodularis research study is to explore a potential new treatment option that may help people better manage the symptoms of Prurigo Nodularis.

About the Study
A Prurigo Nodularis Research Study is being conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an investigational drug for participants with . This Phase 2 study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, dose-ranging trial. The study consists of a 4-week screening period, a 16-week core treatment period, and an optional 24-week extension period.
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of said PN medication compared to a placebo in participants with moderate-to-severe prurigo nodularis.
This Prurigo Nodularis Research Study focuses on an investigational product being tested for its potential to reduce the symptoms associated with this condition. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the study drug or a placebo during the core period.
The study aims to determine the proportion of participants achieving a significant reduction in itch and a clear or almost clear skin assessment. Safety and tolerability of various doses will also be closely monitored throughout the trial.
The study team or your study doctor will explain what this means for you in detail.
