Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Proportion of subjects with an improvement of = 4points from baseline in the weekly average of the daily Worst Itch Numeric Rating Scale (WI-NRS) after 12 weeks of treatment.	In the NRS score, 0-10 represents different degrees of itching, the larger the number, the more severe the itching	Week 12
Secondary	Change from baseline in subjects' quality of life (evaluated using the Skindex-10 scale ) after 12 weeks of treatment.	The Skindex-10 Scale is a multidimensional questionnaire which assesses itch-related quality of life over the past week. The questions cover 3 domains: symptoms, emotions, and functioning domain. A lower total score represents better quality of life.	Week 2?4?8?12
Secondary	Change from baseline in subjects' quality of life (evaluated using the 5-D itch scale) after 12 weeks of treatment.	The 5-D Itch Scale is a multidimensional questionnaire which assesses itch-related quality of life over the past 2 weeks. The questions cover five dimensions of itch including the degree, duration of itch/day, direction (improvement/worsening), disability (impact on activities such as work), and body distribution of itch. A lower total score represents better quality of life	Week 2?4?8?12
