Nemolizumab

Participants weighing less than (\<) 90 kilogram (kg) received two subcutaneous (SC) injections of 30 milligrams (mg) nemolizumab (60 mg loading dose) at baseline then one SC injection once every 4 weeks (Q4W). Participants weighing greater than or equal to (\>=) 90 kg received two SC injections of 30 mg nemolizumab (60 mg total) at baseline (no loading dose) and two SC injections Q4W throughout the treatment period of 16 weeks.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Nemolizumab 30 mg

Intervention Type DRUG

Participants received either 30 mg or 60 mg dose of nemolizumab as SC injection.

Placebo

Participants weighing \< 90 kg received two SC injections of matching placebo at baseline, then one SC injection Q4W. Participants weighing \>= 90 kg received two SC injections of matching placebo at baseline, then two SC injections Q4W throughout the treatment period of 16 weeks.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Clinical diagnosis of PN for at least 6 months with: Pruriginous nodular lesions on upper limbs, trunk, and/or lower limbs, at least 20 nodules on the entire body with a bilateral distribution and Investigator Global Assessment (IGA) score more than equal to (\>=) 3 (based on the IGA scale ranging from 0 to 4, in which 3 was moderate and 4 is severe) at both the screening and baseline visits.
* Severe pruritus was defined as follows on the PP NRS:

1. At the screening visit (Visit 1): PP NRS score was \>= 7.0 for the 24-hour period immediately preceding the screening visit.
2. At the baseline visit (Visit 2): Mean of the daily intensity of the PP NRS score was \>= 7.0 over the previous week.
* Female participants of childbearing potential (that is \[i.e,\], fertile, following menarche and until becoming post-menopausal unless permanently sterile) must agree to use at least 1 adequate and approved method of contraception throughout the study and for 12 weeks after the last study drug injection.
* Participant was willing and able to comply with all of the time commitments and procedural requirements of the clinical study protocol, including daily diary recordings by the participant using an electronic handheld device provided for this study.

Exclusion Criteria

* Body weight less than \< 30 kg.
* Chronic pruritus resulting from another active condition other than PN, such as but not limited to scabies, lichen simplex chronicus, psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, acne, folliculitis, lichen planus, habitual picking/excoriation disorder, sporotrichosis, bullous autoimmune disease, end-stage renal disease, or cholestatic liver disease (example \[e.g.\] primary biliary cirrhosis) or diabetes mellitus or thyroid disease that is not adequately treated, as per standard of care.
* Unilateral lesions of prurigo (e.g., only one arm affected).
* History of or current confounding skin condition (e.g., Netherton syndrome, cutaneous T-cell lymphoma \[mycosis fungoides or Sezary syndrome\], chronic actinic dermatitis, dermatitis herpetiformis).
* Participants with a current medical history of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and/or chronic bronchitis.
* Neuropathic and psychogenic pruritus such as but not limited to notalgia paresthetica, brachioradial pruritus, small fiber neuropathy, skin picking syndrome, or delusional parasitosis.
* Requiring rescue therapy for PN during the screening period or expected to require rescue therapy within 4 weeks following the baseline visit.
* Positive serology results (hepatitis B surface antigen \[HBsAg\] or hepatitis B core antibody \[HBcAb\], hepatitis C (HCV) antibody with positive confirmatory test for HCV (e.g., polymerase chain reaction \[PCR\]), or human immunodeficiency virus antibody) at the screening visit.
