The study will consist of a 37-day Screening period, a 7-day Run-In period, a 8-week Placebo-Controlled Treatment period followed by a 4-week Active Extension period and a Follow Up visit approximately 14 days after the last dose of study drug.~All subjects will sign an informed consent form (ICF) and undergo screening for study eligibility.~Subjects will be randomized to receive either placebo or difelikefalin (CR845) tablets at a dose of 2.0 mg, orally BID. Intake of the first dose of study drug will be at Day 1.~Subjects who complete the Placebo-Controlled Treatment period of the study will transition into the Active Extension period upon completion of the Week 8 visit assessments. All subjects in the Active Extension will receive difelikefalin (CR845).
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of twice-daily (BID) oral difelikefalin (CR845) in adult subjects with notalgia paresthetica and moderate to severe pruritus.
