Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Ruxolitinib cream in participants with Prurigo Nodularis (PN).

Phase 3 |
Detailed Description
The study comprises of a 12 week double-blind, vehicle-controlled (DBVC) treatment period, followed by a 40 week open label extension period, and 30 day safety follow-up period During the double blind period, all PN-affected areas identified at baseline will be treated, and during the open label period, only active PN-affected areas will be treated.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Placebo Comparator: Vehicle Cream BID Participants apply ruxolitinib matching vehicle cream topically to the affected areas as a thin film twice daily (BID) for 12 weeks during the DBVC period. Participants who have completed the treatment during DBVC period will apply ruxolitinib 1.5% cream topically during the open label extension (OLE) period for up to 40 weeks. |
Drug: Vehicle Cream
Ruxolitinib matching vehicle cream 1.5% twice daily (BID) during the vehicle controlled period (DBVC).

Experimental: Ruxolitinib 1.5% Cream Participants apply ruxolitinib 1.5% cream topically to the affected areas as a thin film BID for 12 weeks during the DBVC period. Participants who have completed the treatment during DBVC period will apply ruxolitinib 1.5% cream the open label extension (OLE) period for up to 40 weeks. |
Drug: Ruxolitinib Cream
Ruxolitinib cream 1.5% twice daily (BID) during the vehicle controlled (DBVC)and open label treatment period (OLE).

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Worst-Itch Numeric Rating Scale (WI-NRS) ≥ 4-point improvement in WI-NRS score Response [Week 12]
Defined as achieving a ≥ 4-point improvement (reduction) in Worst Itch Numeric Rating Scale (WI-NRS) score from baseline.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- WI-NRS4 Response [Week 4]
Defined as achieving a ≥ 4-point improvement (reduction) in WI-NRS score from baseline.
- Overall Treatment Success (TS) [Week 12]
Defined as achieving both a WI-NRS4 response and an Investigator's Global Assessment for Stage of Chronic Prurigo Treatment Success (IGA-CPG-S-TS).
- IGA-CPG-S-TS [Week 12]
Defined as an IGA-CPG-S score of 0 or 1 with a ≥ 2 grade improvement from baseline
- WI-NRS4 Response [Day 7]
Defined as achieving a ≥ 4-point improvement (reduction) in WI-NRS score from baseline.
- Proportion of participants with WI-NRS4 at each postbaseline visit. [Up to 52 weeks]
Defined as percentage of participants that achieve a ≥ 4-point improvement in WI-NRS score
- Change from baseline in WI-NRS score [Up to 52 weeks]
Defined as change in Intensity of itch. Itch will be measured using an NRS used to indicate the intensity of the worst itching over the past 24 hours using a 0 to 10 numeric rating scale, where "0" represents "no itching" and "10" represents "worst itching imaginable".
- Time to ≥ 2-point improvement from baseline in WI-NRS score [Up to 52 weeks]
Participants rate pruritus daily on Worst Itch [pruritis] Numerical Rating Scale (0=no pruritus; 10=worst imaginable pruritus)
- Time to ≥ 4-point improvement from baseline in WI-NRS score [Up to 52 weeks]
Defined as time taken for the participant to achieve a ≥4 improvement in NRS scale compared to baseline
- Skin pain response, defined as a ≥ 2-point improvement in Skin Pain NRS score [Up to 52 weeks]
Itch NRS is an 11-point scale (0 to10) where 0 is "no itch" and 10 is the "worst itch imaginable".
- Change from baseline in Skin Pain NRS score [Up to 52 weeks]
Itch NRS is an 11-point scale (0 to10) where 0 is "no itch" and 10 is the "worst itch imaginable".
- IGA-TS response, defined as achieving IGA TS at each postbaseline visit. [Up to 56 weeks]
The IGA for chronic prurigo nodularis considers the number of nodules, also referred to as lesions, and uses them to determine an overall severity rating on on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (clear skin) to 4 (severe).
- IGA-CPG-A 0 or 1 response, defined as achieving an IGA score of 0 or 1 at each postbaseline visit. [Up to 56 weeks]
The IGA-CPG-A is an overall PN severity rating on a 5-point scale ranging from 0 (clear skin) to 4 (severe disease). The score is based on an overall assessment of the degree of erythema, induration/papulation, and oozing/crusting.
- > 75% healed lesions from baseline in PAS at each postbaseline visit. [Up to 56 weeks]
PAS includes 5 items; descriptive of the type, predominant type, distribution, and quantity of pruriginous lesions, and disease activity in terms of percentage of pruriginous lesions with excoriations/crusts on top.
- Number of Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) [Up to 56 weeks]
TEAE defined as any adverse event either reported for the first time or worsening of a pre-existing event after first dose of study drug.
- Change from baseline in Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score at each postbaseline visit. [Up to 56 weeks]
The DLQI is a simple, 10-question validated questionnaire to measure how much the skin problem has affected the participant over the previous 7 days
- Change from baseline in EQ-5D-5L score at each postbaseline visit. [Up to 56 weeks]
The EQ-5D-5L questionnaire is a standardized, validated instrument for use as a measure of health outcome
