Summary

This phase 3 trial tests whether remibrutinib, an oral drug, can reduce severe itching in adults who have had chronic itch for at least 4 months with no known cause. Participants receive either remibrutinib or a placebo for 52 weeks. The main goal is to see if more people on the drug achieve a meaningful reduction in itch intensity.
