Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: - Participant must be 18 (or the legal age of consent in the jurisdiction in which the study is taking place) to 90 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent. - Participants with chronic pruritus for at least 6 months before the screening visit. - Chronic pruritus considered of unknown origin as assessed by the investigator at baseline (excluding chronic pruritus secondary to dermatological or systemic conditions, of neuropathic or psychogenic origin or secondary to drugs). - Chronic pruritus must affect at least 2 of the following body areas: legs, arms, or trunk. - History of insufficient control of the chronic pruritus with prior treatment. - Participants should receive optimal treatment for concomitant conditions that could impact pruritus (eg, diabetes, iron deficiency). - Participants must have a history of severe itch and a worst itch score of =7 at screening on the WI-NRS (score scale ranges from 0 to 10; higher score indicates worse itch) and Patient global impression of severity (PGIS) of pruritus scored “severe” at screening. - Participants must have an average worst itch score of =7 in the 7 days prior to run-in visit and in the 7 days prior to Day 1 on the WI-NRS. - Participants scored “severe” in the PGIS of pruritus on Day 1. Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 227 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range 226

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: - Severe concomitant illness(es) that, in the Investigator’s judgment, would adversely affect the patient’s participation in the study. - Patients with active tuberculosis or non-tuberculous mycobacterial infection, or a history of incompletely treated tuberculosis, unless it is well documented by a specialist that the participant has been adequately treated and can now start treatment with a biologic agent. - Diagnosed with, suspected of, or at high risk of endoparasitic infection, and/or use of antiparasitic drug within 2 weeks before the screening visit. - HIV infection. - Severe renal failure (dialysis). - Active chronic or acute infection requiring treatment with systemic antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals within 2 weeks before the run-in visit. - Known or suspected immunodeficiency. - Active malignancy or history of malignancy within 5 years before the baseline visit, except completely treated in situ carcinoma of the cervix and completely treated and resolved non metastatic squamous or basal cell carcinoma of the skin. - History of hypersensitivity or intolerance to non-sedative antihistamines. - Participation in prior dupilumab clinical study or have been treated with commercially available dupilumab.
