简要总结
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of gefapixant in participants with recent onset chronic cough (duration >8 weeks after onset of cough symptoms) for <12 months and a diagnosis of refractory or unexplained chronic cough. The primary hypothesis is that gefapixant is superior to placebo in improving cough-related quality of life measured as change from baseline in the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) total score at Week 12.

结局指标
主要结局
Change From Baseline in the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ) Total Score at Week 12
时间窗: Baseline, Week 12
Participants will be asked to complete the LCQ to assess the impact of their cough severity on health related quality of life (HRQoL) over the past 2 weeks. The LCQ is a 19-item, cough-specific HRQoL questionnaire. Each item on the LCQ assesses symptoms using a 7-point scale ranging from 1 to 7. The LCQ contains three domains on physical, psychological, and social functioning, and each domain score is calculated as the mean score of the items (range: 1 to 7) within the domain. The LCQ total score is the sum of the 3 domains, with a range from 3 (lowest total score) to 21 (highest total score). Higher scores indicate better HRQoL. The change from baseline in LCQ total score is calculated.
次要结局
- Change From Baseline in the Cough Severity Visual Analog Scale (VAS) Score at Week 12(Baseline, Week 12)
- Percentage of Participants With One or More Adverse Events (AEs)(Up to approximately 14 weeks)
- Percentage of Participants Who Discontinue Study Drug Due to an AE(Up to approximately 12 weeks)
