What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Worst Itch Numeric Rating Scale 4-point Responder Rate at Week 10

    During the study, Worst Itch Numeric Rating Scale (WI-NRS) assessments was reported by the subject via eDiary. The daily NRS results were summarized. The daily results were averaged to create weekly measures.

    The Itch NRS is a validated, self-reported, instrument for measurement of itch intensity. It used a 24-hour recall period and asked subjects to rate the intensity of their itch on an 11-point scale ranging from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst itch imaginable), higher scores indicated greater itch intensity. A subject was a 4-point responder if their change from baseline is ≤ -4 (i.e. a decrease of at least 4).

    Measured: At Week 10

  2. WI-NRS 4-point Responder Rate at Weeks 2 4, 6, and 8

    During the study, Worst Itch Numeric Rating Scale (WI-NRS) assessments was reported by the subject via eDiary. The daily NRS results were summarized. The daily results were averaged to create weekly measures.

A subject was a 4-point responder if their change from baseline is ≤ -4 (i.e. a decrease of at least 4).

    Measured: At Weeks 2, 4, 6, and 8

  3. WI-NRS 3-point Responder Rate at Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10

    During the study, Worst Itch Numeric Rating Scale (WI-NRS) assessments was reported by the subject via eDiary. The daily NRS results were summarized. The daily results were averaged to create weekly measures.

    The Itch NRS is a validated, self-reported, instrument for measurement of itch intensity. It used a 24-hour recall period and asked subjects to rate the intensity of their itch on an 11-point scale ranging from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst itch imaginable), higher scores indicated greater itch intensity. A subject was a 3-point responder if their change from baseline is ≤ -3 (i.e. a decrease of at least 3). Results presented below is of subjects who were a 3-point responder but not a 4-point responder.

    Measured: At Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10

  4. Change From Baseline in WI-NRS at Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10

    During the study, Worst Itch Numeric Rating Scale (WI-NRS) assessments was reported by the subject via eDiary. The daily NRS results were summarized. The daily results were averaged to create weekly measures.

    Measured: At Weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10

  5. Change From Baseline in Daily WI-NRS Scores Through Week 2

    During the study, Worst Itch Numeric Rating Scale (WI-NRS) assessments was reported by the subject via eDiary. The daily NRS results were summarized. The daily results were averaged to create weekly measures.

    The Itch NRS is a validated, self-reported, instrument for measurement of itch intensity. It used a 24-hour recall period and asked subjects to rate the intensity of their itch on an 11-point scale ranging from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst itch imaginable), higher scores indicated greater itch intensity.

    Measured: Through 2 weeks

  6. Change From Baseline in Worst-Itch Visual Analog Scale at Weeks 2, 4, 6, and 10

    The Itch Visual Analog Scale (VAS) is a validated, self-reported instrument for measurement of itch intensity. It used a 24-hour recall period and asked subjects to rate the worst intensity of their itch on a 100-mm horizontal line ranging from 0 mm (no itch) to 100 mm (worst itch imaginable). Higher scores indicated greater itch intensity. The VAS measurement were summarized in centimeters. WI-VAS assessments were reported by the subject via a paper form administered at study visits.

    Measured: At Weeks 2, 4, 6, and 10

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Subjects With Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    Adverse events (AEs) were recorded to assess the safety and tolerability of repeated oral doses of serlopitant in adult subjects with chronic pruritus of unknown origin. Adverse events (AEs) and SAEs were recorded from the first study drug administration through the follow-up visit. After informed consent was signed, but prior to initiation of study drug, only SAEs considered by the investigator to be caused by a protocol-mandated intervention were collected.

    Measured: From screening until the Follow-up (F/U) visit which occurred 35 days (+ 7 days) after the Week 10 visit or the last dose of study drug for subjects who discontinued study drug early.

  2. Plasma Concentrations of Serlopitant and Metabolites

    The plasma concentrations of serlopitant and metabolites were combined with the data from other serlopitant clinical studies for population pharmacokinetic analysis.

    Measured: At Week 10

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing 5 mg Serlopitant Tablets in people with Pruritus, run by Vyne Therapeutics Inc. at 41 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 May 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 41 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 23 Sep 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Worst Itch Numeric Rating Scale 4-point Responder Rate at Week 10 (time frame: At Week 10). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 May 2021.
