About this trial

The purpose of this phase 3 study is to establish the efficacy, safety and tolerability of remibrutinib in adult participants with severe chronic pruritus of unknown origin (CPUO).

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Participant must be ≥ 18 years of age, at the time of signing the informed consent.

Participants with chronic pruritus for at least 4 months prior to screening.

Chronic pruritus considered of unknown origin as assessed by the investigator at baseline (e.g., excluding chronic pruritus related to primary dermatological or systemic conditions, neuropathic or psychogenic origin or secondary to drugs or other allergen exposures).

Chronic pruritus must affect at least 2 of the following body areas: trunk, arms, or legs (cannot be unilateral and/or dermatomal in distribution).

Disqualifiers

Any active skin conditions (e.g., atopic dermatitis, psoriasis, etc.) that may interfere with the assessment of CPUO.

Known systemic condition(s) or medication(s) that are considered by the investigator to be the primary cause of current pruritus.

Known or suspected infectious disease that is active, chronic or recurrent which precludes the participant from participating in the clinical trial as per Investigator´s assessment. These infectious diseases include but are not limited to opportunistic infections (e.g., tuberculosis, atypical mycobacterioses, listeriosis or aspergillosis) and/or known or suspected HIV infection.

History of malignancy of any organ system (other than localized basal cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ cervical cancer), treated or untreated, within the past 5 years, regardless of whether there is evidence of local recurrence or metastases.
