Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.
| List | Outcome | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Average Visual Analog Scale at Baseline | At Baseline | At study visits, participants recorded a mark for pruritus severity on a 10-cm horizontal line. This thermometer-type scale was marked with ratings of "no itch" (0 cm) and worst imaginable itch" (10 cm). Average Visual Analog Scale (VAS) (average itch over the past 24 hours) was recorded. Higher scores indicated worse outcome. |
| Primary | Average Visual Analog Scale at Week 2 | At Week 2 | At study visits, participants recorded a mark for pruritus severity on a 10-cm horizontal line. This thermometer-type scale was marked with ratings of "no itch" (0 cm) and worst imaginable itch" (10 cm). Average VAS (average itch over the past 24 hours) was recorded. Higher scores indicated worse outcome. |
| Primary | Average Visual Analog Scale at Week 4 | At Week 4 | At study visits, participants recorded a mark for pruritus severity on a 10-cm horizontal line. This thermometer-type scale was marked with ratings of "no itch" (0 cm) and worst imaginable itch" (10 cm). Average VAS (average itch over the past 24 hours) was recorded. Higher scores indicated worse outcome. |
| Primary | Average Visual Analog Scale at Week 8 | At Week 8 | At study visits, participants recorded a mark for pruritus severity on a 10-cm horizontal line. This thermometer-type scale was marked with ratings of "no itch" (0 cm) and worst imaginable itch" (10 cm). Average VAS (average itch over the past 24 hours) was recorded. Higher scores indicated worse outcome. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants With Improvement in Pruritus as Reported on Verbal Rating Scale (VRS) - Pruritus | At Baseline and Week 8 | At study visits, participants used the VRS to rate their skin sensations (pruritus, burning, and stinging) using a 5-point scale (0 = not present; 1 = mild present; 2 = moderately present; 3 = severely present; and 4 = very severely present). Higher scores indicated worse outcome. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants With Improvement in Burning as Reported on Verbal Rating Scale (VRS) - Burning | At Baseline and Week 8 | At study visits, participants used the VRS to rate their skin sensations (pruritus, burning, and stinging) using a 5-point scale (0 = not present; 1 = mild present; 2 = moderately present; 3 = severely present; and 4 = very severely present). Higher scores indicated worse outcome. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants With Improvement in Stinging as Reported on Verbal Rating Scale (VRS) - Stinging | At Baseline and Week 8 | At study visits, participants used the VRS to rate their skin sensations (pruritus, burning, and stinging) using a 5-point scale (0 = not present; 1 = mild present; 2 = moderately present; 3 = severely present; and 4 = very severely present). Higher scores indicated worse outcome. |
| Secondary | Worst Visual Analog Scale (VAS) | At Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, and 8 | At study visits, participants recorded a mark for pruritus severity on a 10-cm horizontal line. This thermometer-type scale was marked with ratings of "no itch" (0 cm) and worst imaginable itch" (10 cm). Worst VAS (worst itch over the past 24 hours) was recorded. Higher scores indicated worse outcome. |
| Secondary | Number of Participants With Improvement in Pruritus as Reported on Patient Global Assessment (PGA) | At Weeks 2, 4, and 8 | The PGA included a question: Did the pruritus improve during the treatment period (yes/no). |
| Secondary | Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) | At Baseline, Weeks 2, 4, and 8 | Numeric Rating Scale: Using the patient diary, participants rated the following using an 11-point NRS (0 = no itching; to 10 = worst itch imaginable): average itching over the past 24 hours (Average NRS). Higher scores indicated worse outcome. |
