Summary

This study tested the drug dupilumab in 151 adults with prurigo nodularis, a condition causing intense itching and raised skin bumps. Participants had severe itch that creams could not control. They received either dupilumab injections or a placebo for 24 weeks. The main goal was to see if dupilumab could reduce itch by at least 4 points on a 0-10 scale.
