Filter by:The objective of this double-blinded placebo-controlled cross-over study is to define the role of the over the counter agent, N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), in mitigating the development of pruritus (skin itching). The study is designed to have all subjects treated with a seven-day regimen of both NAC and placebo. NAC will be prescribed at a dose of 1,500 mg twice daily for seven days. Subjects will initially be randomly assigned (1:1) to either the NAC or placebo arm of the study, before crossing over to the opposite arm after completing a minimum of 30-day washout period. The study will encompass a period of approximately 11 weeks (about 2 and a half months).
The main objective of the study is to assess efficacy and safety of dupilumab given up to 24 weeks in adults with CPUO. This is a master protocol which includes 2 parallel-treatment, double-blind, 2- arm Phase 3 staggered studies of similar design (Study A and Study B) in male and female participants aged 18 to 90 years with CPUO. Study B design may be adapted based on the results of Study A. For both Study A and B, after an up-to-4-week screening period, participants with severe pruritus (worst-itch numerical rating scale [WI-NRS ≥7) will enter a 4-week run-in period during with a non-sedative antihistamine and an emollient (moisturizer). Participants with severe pruritus (WI-NRS ≥7) at baseline will be randomized (1:1) to be treated for 24 weeks (Study A) or 12 weeks (Study B) with either dupilumab or matching placebo in addition to their antihistamine and emollient regimen. The treatment period for both study A and B will be followed by a 12-week follow-up period.
The purpose of this study is to test whether or not a medication called nabilone, which is a synthetic (non-natural) medication derived from cannabis, compared to placebo improves symptoms of itch in hemodialysis as measured by visual analog scales.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the inhibitory effect of different doses of propofol on perineal pruritus induced by dexamethasone sodium phosphate injection in women, with a view to providing clinical reference for comfortable clinical care in day surgery. METHODS: One hundred and fifty patients with ASA classification I or II undergoing elective day surgery were randomly divided into six groups of P1, P2, P3, P4, P5 and D1, with 25 cases in each group. Before administration of dexamethasone, propofol injection 0.1 mg/kg, 0.2 mg/kg, 0.3 mg/kg, 0.4 mg/kg and 0.5 mg/kg were given intravenously in groups P1, P2, P3, P4 and P5, respectively (injection rate was 5 s), followed by 30 s of intravenous dexamethasone sodium phosphate 10 mg in all five groups; 5 ml of saline was given in group D1, and 30 s After that, dexamethasone sodium phosphate injection was given (injection speed was 5s in all five groups). The perineal itching, the onset and duration of itching, the visual analogue score (VAS) of itching, the sleep disorder sedation score (Ramsay score) and the occurrence of adverse reactions were recorded in the five groups.
This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. About 310 maintenance hemodialysis patients with moderate or above chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus are planned to be enrolled. They will randomized into the treatment group (HSK21542, 0.3 μg/kg) and the control group (placebo) at a 1:1 ratio.
This study aims to investigate the effect of linerixibat on plasma concentrations of obeticholic acid (OCA) and its conjugates in healthy adult participants to inform the potential for drug interaction with coadministration of linerixibat and OCA.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of nemolizumab compared to placebo at reducing the intensity of pruritus after a 12-week treatment period in adult hemodialysis participants with moderate to severe pruritus.
Single center, prospective, Open label study of sleep, pruritus and circadian function pre/post 12-weeks of dupilumab treatment in children 6-17 years old
The primary objective is to assess the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of Abrocitinib for the treatment of Prurigo Nodularis (PN) or Chronic Pruritus of Unknown Origin (CPUO) in patients experiencing moderate to severe pruritus.
This is an intermediate-size patient population expanded access protocol for the use of intravenous (IV) difelikefalin for the treatment of moderate-to-severe pruritus associated with chronic kidney disease in adult patients undergoing hemodialysis.
