Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled study is to test the hypothesis that administration of aprepitant will decrease the severity of pruritus in patients with Sèzary Syndrome.
