The worst pruritus is identified as within the areas of the PN lesions, with a Worst-Itch Numeric Rating Scale (WI-NRS) score in the 24-hour period prior to the Screening visit, and average weekly WI-NRS score in each of the 2 weeks prior to Baseline visit indicating an appropriate pruritus level for the study. 5.

Willing and able to complete daily eDiary entries within a consistent timeframe for the duration of the study. 7.
