Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Current primary outcome measures as of 05/11/2025: 1. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs) measured by patient diary report, directed safety questioning, physical examination, and review of clinical laboratory abnormalities at each on-site and phone visit from Day 0 through End of Study. Events coded with MedDRA and graded per CTCAE, with causality assessed by the investigator. 2. Clinical laboratory parameters (chemistry, hematology, serology, and standard urinalysis) measured using blood and urine samples at Screening, Baseline, Day 7, Day 84, Day 112, Day 140 (Cohort 2 only), and Early Termination (ET, if applicable). 3. Vital signs (body temperature, pulse, blood pressure) measured using calibrated clinical devices at all in-clinic visits. 4. Electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters (e.g., QTcF, PR, QRS, heart rate) measured using 12-lead ECG at Screening, Baseline, Day 84, Day 112, Day 140 (Cohort 2 only), and Early Termination (ET, if applicable). _____ Previous primary outcome measures: 1. Incidence rate of TEAEs and SAEs grouped by body system up to the patient´s end of trial (Day 112 [Visit 12]) or early termination [ET] visit]). 2. Mean changes from baseline (Day 1) in clinical laboratory parameters to Day 84 (end of treatment [EoT]) and from Day 84 (EoT) to Day 112. 3. Mean changes from baseline (Day 1) in vital signs (body temperature, pulse, blood pressure) to Day 84 (EoT) and from Day 84 (EoT) to Day 112. 4. Mean changes from baseline (Day 1) in ECG parameters to Day 84 (EoT) and from Day 84 (EoT) to Day 112.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Current secondary outcome measures as of 05/11/2025: 1. Percent of responders on end of treatment (EoT) (Day 84 for cohort 1, Day 112 for cohort 2) compared to baseline (Day 0); a responder is defined to have an improvement in at least 1 parameter of the following parameters: 1.1. Patient Global Impression of Severity (PGI-S) (at least 1 unit improvement). Measured at each on-site visit from Day 0 through End of Study and Early Termination (ET, if applicable). 1.2. Clinical Global Impression of Severity (CGI-S) (at least 1 unit improvement). Measured at each on-site visit and Early Termination (ET, if applicable). 1.3. Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (PP-NRS) score (reduction of at least 4 points compared to baseline, i.e., change from baseline <= 4). Measured from Day 0 through End of Study and Early Termination (ET, if applicable). 1.4. Patient Global Impression of Change (PGI-C) (response at EoT: very much improved or much improved or minimally improved). Measured at each on-site visit from Day 0 through End of Study and Early Termination (ET, if applicable). 1.5. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain score (A reduction of at least 10 points).Measured at each on-site visit from Day 0 through End of Study and Early Termination (ET, if applicable). _____ Previous secondary outcome measures: 1. Percent responders in CGI-S scale (0= “none” to 4= “very severe”) on Day 84 [Visit 10, EoT] compared to baseline (Day 1); a responder is defined to have an improvement of at least 2 points in disease severity on Day 84 [Visit 10, EoT] compared to baseline (Day 1). 2. Mean change from baseline (Day 1 [Visit 2] to Day 84 [Visit 10, EoT]) in PGI-S. 3. Mean change from baseline (Day 1 [Visit 2] to Day 84 [Visit 10, EoT]) in PGI-C.
