Study Summary

Our goal is to determine whether daily oral administration of VPD-737 (5 mg) is effective and safe in treating moderate to severe pruritus in patients with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB).

Primary Outcome

Determine the efficacy of Serlopitant compared with placebo on reducing EB-associated daily itch score as measured by patient self-reports using a numeric rating scale (NRS) for itch severity.The NRS is comprised of one item and represents the numbers 0 ("no itch") to 10 ("worst imaginable itch"). Because itch is subjective and can vary day to day, nightly NRS scores were recorded in patients' Itch Diaries. NRS recorded by subject daily, from screening visit through the end of the study.
