Efficacy of Calmmax Cream in the Management of Chronic Uremic Pruritus

Summary

Uraemic pruritus (UP) remains a frequent and distressing problem in patients with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Calmmax is a new topical cream that was introduced recently by Calmmax Pharma, an Israeli pharmaceutical company developed a topical cream based on active plant extracts for treatment of skin inflammation. We intend to conduct a prospective, double blind, placebo controlled, randomized trial that will assess the therapeutic effect of Calmmax cream on UP in a cohort of CKD and ESRD patients.
