About the Kick Studies
The KICK studies are clinical trials testing oral difelikefalin to see if it helps reduce intensity of itching and the impact that itching has on your quality of life.
An intravenous (IV) form of difelikefalin has been approved by the FDA to treat itching associated with CKD in adults who are undergoing dialysis. The KICK studies are testing the medication in its oral (tablet) form to see if it reduces itching in CKD patients.
Participants will be compensated appropriately for their time and transportation.
