In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Moderate to severe pruritus significantly impairs the quality of life in peritoneal dialysis patients, and effective treatment options remain limited. ฮบ-opioid receptor agonists may alleviate itching by modulating neural signaling pathways. This study is a multicenter, prospective, single-arm clinical trial, planning to enroll 93 patients. It aims to test the hypothesis that nalfurafine hydrochloride orally disintegrating tablets compared to baseline, with acceptable safety.
