Real-world Experience on Using Nemolizumab in the Treatment of Moderate-to- Severe Prurigo Nodularis in Adults
- Conditions
- Prurigo Nodularis
- Registration Number
- NCT06988618
- Lead Sponsor
- Galderma R&D
- Brief Summary
The main aim of this study is to assess real-world effectiveness of nemolizumab in Prurigo nodularis (PN) as measured by investigator and patient reported outcome (PRO) in clinical practice at Month 6.
- Detailed Description
This prospective, multicenter, non-interventional study (NIS) seeks to evaluate PN treatment with nemolizumab (Nemluvio®) in adults over an approximately 12 month period using physician assessments in routine clinical practice and PRO measures. Treatment with nemolizumab will be determined solely by the participant's physician prior to study enrollment. No additional visits, procedures, or laboratory tests are required outside of routine clinical practice.
The visit structure is not defined by the study protocol but is determined by routine medical practice. The visit schedule is intended to facilitate a systematic data assessment according to clinical routine. A sub-study will be completed in Germany and the UK at selected sites in which participants will complete the Peak pruritus (PP) numerical rating scale (NRS) and Sleep Disturbance (SD) NRS on a daily basis from Day -1 to Day 14. Data collection will occur remotely and no clinic visits will be required.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Investigator Global Assessment-chronic Prurigo (IGA-CPG stage) at Month 6 At 6 month The IGA-CPG stage is an instrument used to assess the overall number and thickness of chronic prurigo lesions at a given time point, as determined by the physician. In this scale, nodules, papules, plaques, and other PN lesions are defined as pruriginous lesions or chronic prurigo lesions. A single score will be determined by the physician as follows: 0 (clear), 1 (almost clear), 2 (mild), 3 (moderate), or 4 (severe). A higher score indicates severe chronic prurigo.
Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (PP NRS) at Month 6 At 6 month The PP NRS is a single-question validated PRO assessment that participants will use to report the maximum intensity of their pruritus (itch). The PP NRS consists of the following question: "On a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being 'no itch' and 10 being the 'worst itch imaginable', how would you rate your itch at the worst moment during the previous 24 hours?". Here, a lower score indicates a better outcome.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Investigator Global Assessment-chronic Prurigo (IGA-CPG stage) Up to Month 12 Up to 12 months The IGA-CPG stage is an instrument used to assess the overall number and thickness of chronic prurigo lesions at a given time point, as determined by the physician. In this scale, nodules, papules, plaques, and other PN lesions are defined as pruriginous lesions or chronic prurigo lesions. A single score will be determined by the physician as follows: 0 (clear), 1 (almost clear), 2 (mild), 3 (moderate), or 4 (severe). A higher score indicates severe chronic prurigo.
Prurigo Activity Score (PAS) Up to Month 12 Up to 12 months The PAS is a physician-assessed tool to monitor the distribution and activity of chronic prurigo lesions. This includes a count of the number of lesions in a representative area and a calculated staging (stage 0 to stage 4) based on the percentage of lesions with excoriations/crusts and healed lesions compared to all lesions. A higher score indicates higher level of activity.
Peak Pruritus Numerical Rating Scale (PP NRS) Up to Month 12 Up to 12 months The PP NRS is a single-question validated PRO assessment that participants will use to report the maximum intensity of their pruritus (itch). The PP NRS consists of the following question: "On a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being 'no itch' and 10 being the 'worst itch imaginable', how would you rate your itch at the worst moment during the previous 24 hours?". Here, a lower score indicates a better outcome.
Sleep Disturbance Numerical Rating Scale (SD NRS) Up to Month 12 Up to 12 months The SD NRS is a single-item PRO for quantifying sleep disturbance that has been validated in PN participants. The SD NRS consists of the following question: "On a scale of 0 to 10, with 0 being 'no sleep loss related to the symptoms of my skin disease (prurigo nodularis)' and 10 being 'I did not sleep at all due to the symptoms of my skin disease (prurigo nodularis)', how would you rate your sleep last night". Here, a lower score indicates a better outcome.
