Part A of this study comprises a 28-day Screening Period, a 7-day Run-in Period, an 8-week Double-blind Treatment Period, a 2-week Treatment Discontinuation Period, and a Safety Follow-up Visit (14 days after the last dose of study treatment).

Part B of this study will evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of oral difelikefalin. The dose of oral difelikefalin to be assessed in Part B will depend on the results of Part A. Part B of this study comprises a 28-day Screening Period, a 7-day Run-in Period, an 8-week Double-blind Treatment Period, up to a 52-week OLE Period, and a Safety Follow-up Visit.
