| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: The primary objective is to investigate the treatment effect of ASF-1075 cream 2.5% and 5% on reducing patient assessed pruritus (VAS) in patients suffering from lichen simplex chronicus of the anogenital region following 3 weeks double-blind, vehicle-controlled treatment with a twice daily application.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives are to investigate the treatment effect of ASF-1075 cream 2.5% and 5% with regard to: - Patient assessed pruritus (verbal rating scale) - Clinical scores of erythema, lichenification, excoriation assessed by the investigator - General improvement of LSC assessed by the investigator - Global improvement of pruritus assessed by the patient - Patient assessed quality of life: DLQI - To assess the safety profile in the ASF-1075 cream 2.5% and 5% groups;Primary end point(s): Pruritus after 3 weeks treatment compared to baseline. At the 3 weeks visit to the clinic, the patient will rate his/her pruritus over the last 24 hours using a 100 mm visual analogue scale (VAS). | — |
