Brief Summary

This is an efficacy and safety study of up to 12 weeks of desloratadine in Japanese participants with eczema/dermatitis and dermal pruritus. The primary hypothesis of this study is that the sum of the daytime and nighttime pruritus/itch scores for both the eczema/dermatitis group and the dermal pruritus group will be significantly improved at Week 2 compared to Baseline.

Study Design

• Allocation Method: NON_RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: SINGLE_GROUP

Study Groups

Desloratadine: Eczema/Dermatitis

Participants with eczema/dermatitis receive desloratadine 5 mg, taken as one 5-mg tablet, orally once daily in the evening for up to 12 weeks. After Week 4, the dose of desloratadine can be increased from 5 mg/day to 10 mg/day (two 5-mg tablets, orally once daily in the evening for up to 8 weeks), if criteria for dose up-titration are met, there is insufficient antipruritic efficacy and there is no safety concern.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Desloratadine 5 mg

Intervention Type: DRUG

Desloratadine 5 mg/day: one 5-mg tablet taken orally once daily in the evening for up to 12 weeks (Desloratadine 10 mg/day: two 5-mg tablets taken orally once daily in the evening for up to 8 weeks)

Desloratadine: Dermal Puritus

Participants with dermal pruritus receive desloratadine 5 mg, taken as one 5-mg tablet, orally once daily in the evening for up to 12 weeks. After Week 4, the dose of desloratadine can be increased from 5 mg/day to 10 mg/day (two 5-mg tablets, orally once daily in the evening for up to 8 weeks), if criteria for dose up-titration are met, there is insufficient anti-pruritic efficacy and there is no safety concern.
