Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Investigator Global Assessment Scale (IGA) Score Change [ Time Frame: Week 8 ]
    IGA Success, defined as an IGA score of 'clear' or 'almost clear' plus a 2-point improvement at Week 8. This global assessment scale has five severity grades reported from 0-4 and defined as Clear (0), Almost Clear (1), Mild (2), Moderate (3), Severe (4).


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. In subjects with a Baseline WI-NRS pruritus score of ≥ 4, WI-NRS Success, defined as achievement of a ≥ 4-point improvement from Baseline. [ Time Frame: Week 8 ]
    WI-NRS is a subject-reported severity of itch at its highest intensity during the previous 24-hour period. The scale is from '0 to 10' ("no itch" to "worst imaginable itch").

  2. In subjects with a Baseline WI-NRS pruritus score of ≥ 4, WI-NRS Success, defined as achievement of a ≥ 4-point improvement from Baseline. [ Time Frame: Week 4 ]
    WI-NRS is a subject-reported severity of itch at its highest intensity during the previous 24-hour period. The scale is from '0 to 10' ("no itch" to "worst imaginable itch").

  3. In subjects with a Baseline WI-NRS pruritus score of ≥ 4, WI-NRS Success, defined as achievement of a ≥ 4-point improvement from Baseline. [ Time Frame: Week 2 ]
    WI-NRS is a subject-reported severity of itch at its highest intensity during the previous 24-hour period. The scale is from '0 to 10' ("no itch" to "worst imaginable itch").

  4. IGA Success [ Time Frame: Week 4 ]
    This global assessment scale has five severity grades reported from 0-4 and defined as Clear (0), Almost Clear (1), Mild (2), Moderate (3), Severe (4).

  5. Overall Assessment of Scaling Score [ Time Frame: Week 8 ]
    Achievement of an Overall Assessment of Scaling score of 0. This assessment scale has four severity grades reported from 0-3 and defined as None (0), Mild (1), Moderate (2), Severe (3).

  6. Overall Assessment of Erythema Score [ Time Frame: Week 8 ]
    Achievement of an Overall Assessment of Erythema score of 0. This assessment scale has four severity grades reported from 0-3 and defined as None (0), Mild (1), Moderate (2), Severe (3).

  7. Investigator Global Assessment Scale (IGA) Score Change [ Time Frame: Week 8 ]
    Achievement of an IGA score of 'clear'. This global assessment scale has five severity grades reported from 0-4 and defined as Clear (0), Almost Clear (1), Mild (2), Moderate (3), Severe (4).

  8. IGA Success [ Time Frame: Week 2 ]
    This global assessment scale has five severity grades reported from 0-4 and defined as Clear (0), Almost Clear (1), Mild (2), Moderate (3), Severe (4).
