* Has at least 2 single-pool Kt/V measurements =1.2, or at least 2 urea reduction ratio measurements =65%, or 1 single pool Kt/V measurement =1.2 and 1 urea reduction ratio measurement =65% on different dialysis days during the 3 months period prior to screening;
* Prior to randomization:

* Has completed Worst Itching Intensity NRS worksheets up to 8 days prior to 1st dose;
* Has a mean baseline Worst Itching Intensity NRS indicative of moderate to severe uremic pruritus.
