Inclusion criteria

(Subjects must meet the following criteria to be randomized into the study: 1. Male or female, age 18 years or older at consent. 2. Prurigo nodularis (PN), with at least ten nodules on at least two different body surface areas. 3. Idiopathic PN, or an identified pruritic condition associated with the PN with persistent pruritus despite at least 6 weeks of optimized and stable treatment of the underlying condition. 4. 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. Female subjects of childbearing potential must be willing to practice highly effective contraception until 5 weeks after last dose of study drug. 6. Willing and able to complete daily eDiary entries within a consistent timeframe for the duration of the study. 7. Willing and able to comply with study visits and study related requirements including providing written informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

(Subjects who meet any of the following criteria are not eligible for participation in the study): 1. Prior treatment with serlopitant. 2. Active pruritic skin disease, other than PN, within 6 months (with the exception of acute dermatoses such as contact dermatitis, sunburn, viral exanthem, which have been resolved for longer than 4 weeks). 3. Treatment with any of the following therapies within 4 weeks. 1. Other neurokinin-1 receptor antagonists (e.g., aprepitant, fosaprepitant, rolapitant). 2. Systemic or topical immunosuppressive/immunomodulatory therapies. 3. Systemic therapies with recognized anti-pruritic properties. 4. Strong cytochrome-P 3A4 inhibitors. 5. Use of an indoor tanning facility, or natural sun exposure resulting in significant tanning or sunburn. 4. Treatment with topical anti-pruritic therapies within 2 weeks. 5. Treatment with biologic therapies within 8 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer. 6. Treatment with any investigational therapy within 4 weeks (8 weeks for investigational biologic therapies) or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer. 7.

Relevant major psychiatric diagnosis in the past 3 years, such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, psychotic disorder, intellectual disability, severe alcohol use disorder. 11. Documented history of parasitic infection, including skin parasites such as scabies, within 8 weeks. 12. Any medical condition or disability that could interfere with the assessment of safety or efficacy in this study or compromise the safety of the subject. 13.

The Itch NRS is a validated, self reported, instrument for measurement of itch intensity and participants were asked to rate the intensity of their itch on an 11- point scale ranging from 0 (no itch) to 10 (worst itch imaginable); higher scores indicated greater itch intensity. A participant was a 4-point responder if their change from baseline is ≤ -4 (i.e. a decrease of at least 4).

Recruitment details

The study was conducted at 40 sites in US from 29 August 2018 to 06 February 2020. All psrticipants who met the study entry criteria were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive daily oral doses of serlopitant 5 mg or placebo.

Pre-assignment details

During the screening period (4 weeks), all participants were evaluated for eligibility and chronic pruritic conditions frequently associated with Prurigo Nodularis. Participants were to complete an electronic diary (eDiary) at the Screening visit.
