Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Change From Baseline in Weekly Average WI-NRS at Week 8
Baseline, Week 8

WI-NRS score: Participants were asked daily to assign a numerical score to the intensity of their most severe (worst) pruritus in the past 24 hours using a scale from 0 to 10, with 0 indicating no pruritus and 10 indicating the worst imaginable pruritus. Daily scores were averaged for a weekly score. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.
