Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
All subjects will sign an informed consent form (ICF) and undergo screening for study eligibility.
Subjects will be randomized to receive either placebo or difelikefalin (CR845) tablets at a dose of 2.0 mg, orally BID. Intake of the first dose of study drug will be at Day 1.
Subjects who complete the Placebo-Controlled Treatment period of the study will transition into the Active Extension period upon completion of the Week 8 visit assessments. All subjects in the Active Extension will receive difelikefalin (CR845).
