Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Efficacy Endpoints-2-point IGAUp to week 16

Proportion of subjects with 2-point reduction in IGA from Baseline.

Efficacy Endpoints-1-point IGAUp to week 16

Proportion of subjects with 1-point reduction on the Investigator's Global Assessment (IGA) from Baseline. The IGA assesses overall severity of a subject's NS based on a 5-point scale where 0 = clear, 1 = almost clear, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, and 4 = severe.

Safety Endpoints-LSRUp to week 16

Number of subjects with presence of the following LSRs (Local Skin Reactions): edema, excoriations, oozing/vesiculation/crusting, and erosions at any study visit.

Efficacy Endpoints-WI-NRS scoreUp to week 16

Change from Baseline in the Worst Itch-Numeric Rating Scale (WI-NRS) score. Itch severity is graded on an 11-point scale where 0 represents "no itch" and 10 represents "worst itch imaginable".

Safety Endpoints-AEsUp to week 16

Any local and systemic AEs (Adverse Events)/serious AEs

Efficacy Endpoints-NS SignUp to week 16

Change from Baseline in each individual NS Sign (erythema and scaling). Severity of each NS sign is graded on a 5-point scale.

Efficacy Endpoints-TSQMUp to week 16

Assessment of subject satisfaction with treatment based on the Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM). The TSQM measures a subject's level of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the treatment. Composite scores can range from 0 to 100; higher scores indicate better satisfaction.

Efficacy Endpoints-BSAUp to week 16

Change from Baseline in total Body Surface Area (BSA) affected by NS in the Treatment Area

Efficacy Endpoints-Rescue TherapyUp to week 16

Proportion of subjects requiring rescue therapy
