Moderate-to-severe chronic pruritus has repeatedly been shown to directly decrease quality of life, contribute to symptoms that impair quality of life (such as poor sleep quality), and is associated with depression.<sup>3<\/sup>\u00a0CKD-aP is also an independent predictor of mortality among hemodialysis patients, mainly related to increased risk of inflammation and infections.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>References:<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<ol style=\"list-style-type:decimal\">\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">Pisoni RL, et al.\u00a0Pruritus in hemodialysis patients: international results from the Dialysis Outcomes and Practice Patterns Study.\u00a0Nephrol Dial Transplant.\u00a02006; 21:3495-3505.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">Ramakrishnan K, et al.\u00a0Clinical characteristics and outcomes of end-stage renal disease patients with self-reported pruritus symptoms.\u00a0International Journal of Nephrology and Renovascular Disease.\u00a02014; 7: 1-12.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align:justify\">Mathur VS, et al.\u00a0A longitudinal study of Uremic Pruritus in hemodialysis patients.\u00a0Clin J Am Soc Nephrol.\u00a02010; 5(8):1410-1419.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p align=\"justify\">\n        <strong>About Cara Therapeutics<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Cara Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing new chemical entities designed to alleviate pruritus by selectively targeting peripheral kappa opioid receptors, or KORs.

In two Phase 3 trials, KORSUVA Injection has demonstrated statistically significant reductions in itch intensity and concomitant improvement in quality of life measures in hemodialysis patients with moderate-to-severe chronic kidney disease-associated pruritus (CKD-aP). Oral KORSUVA has successfully completed a Phase 2 trial for the treatment of pruritus in patients with CKD and is currently in Phase 2 trials in atopic dermatitis and primary biliary cholangitis patients with moderate-to-severe pruritus.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">The FDA has conditionally accepted KORSUVA\u2122 as the trade name for difelikefalin injection.
