Eligibility

Sex/Gender
All
Age
18 Years to No maximum

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: 1. Age > 18 years, regardless of gender. 2. Clinically diagnosed with CPUO by a dermatologist. 3. At screening and baseline, WI-NRS score is 4-8 (moderate to severe), condition is stable, with no new skin lesions or signs of acute exacerbation. 4. Patients who have previously received conventional treatments for CPUO (including but not limited to antihistamines, topical glucocorticoids, calcineurin inhibitors, etc.) but with poor efficacy, or who have contraindications/intolerance to the above treatments. 5. Female subjects of childbearing potential, or male subjects with partners of childbearing potential, must have no plans for pregnancy or sperm/egg donation from the time of signing the informed consent until 8 weeks after the last dose, and voluntarily use highly effective contraceptive methods (including partners). 6. Subjects are capable of understanding the research requirements and processes, voluntarily participate in the clinical trial and sign the informed consent form, and are willing and able to comply with the study visits and related procedures.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Pregnant or lactating women, or subjects planning pregnancy or lactation during the study. 2. Received any of the following treatments: systemic glucocorticoids, systemic immunosuppressive/immunomodulatory therapy (e.g., cyclosporine, methotrexate, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, thalidomide, hydroxychloroquine, JAK inhibitors) within 4 weeks prior to screening, or use of other biological agents (dupilumab, rituximab, omalizumab, etc.) within 3 months or 5 drug half-lives prior to screening; received topical PDE4 inhibitors, topical glucocorticoids, or calcineurin inhibitors within 7 days prior to baseline. 3. Presence of other skin comorbidities (e.g., eczema, scabies, insect bites, psoriasis, etc.) other than CPUO that might interfere with the study assessment at screening and baseline. 4. Presence of other diseases that might interfere with efficacy evaluation or cause itching at screening and baseline, such as uncontrolled diabetes or thyroid disease, end-stage renal disease, iron deficiency anemia, etc. 5. History of or current psychiatric disorders such as anxiety or depression. 6. Any other conditions deemed unsuitable for participation in this study by the investigator, including but not limited to: previous or current physical or psychiatric illnesses, clinically significant physical examination or laboratory test abnormalities at screening or baseline, etc.
