Study hypothesis
Primary objective:
To demonstrate the long-term efficacy (response to treatment during initial therapy, time to relapse without treatment, durability and lesional recurrence during maintenance therapy) of V0034 CR 01B cream on uraemic xerosis in the real-life setting.
Secondary objectives:
1. To assess the local tolerance of V0034 CR 01B after long-term use

Intervention
The study will comprise three periods:
Period I: randomised, vehicle-controlled, double-blind, two-parallel group, comparative study (initial treatment period) - once daily application of V0034 CR 01B or its vehicle
Period II: randomised, double blind, two-parallel group study (treatment-free follow-up) - no topical treatment
Period III : open-labelled, non-controlled, one arm study (maintenance treatment period) - V0034 CR 01B application at dosage ad libitum

Primary outcome measure
1. Treatment response of xerosis on five test areas (right lower leg, left lower leg, forearm having no arterio-venous shunt, chest, dorsum of the neck), using a defined physicians five-point severity scale (Gammal severity scale). Treatment response will be defined as a score of zero or one on all test areas at the end of Period I, and a reduction of at least two grades on at least one test area (primary efficacy parameter, Period I).
2. Time to relapse, as defined as the time up to which patients have at least one test area with a severity score of at least two during the treatment-free follow-up (Period II). Only patients with no persisting lesions on day 28 will be evaluated for this parameter.
Secondary outcome measures
1. Change from baseline of the Gammal severity score of the five test areas, as assessed by the physicians. Total severity score (sum of scores of the test areas) and separate scores by test area will be presented. Recurrence rate (i.e. proportion of patients with at least one test area with a score of at least two) will be accounted during Period III.
2. Scaling measurement (mean optical density of squames [MOD], total surface area of squames [SURFT]) on one lower leg made by the physician, using D-Squame
3. Assessment of the global severity of xerosis and pruritus made by the patients, using 10-cm Visual Analogue Scales (VAS)
4. Life quality assessment performed by 12-item Short Form health survey (SF-12) (generic scale) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) scales, made by the patients
5. Global agreement of the test product by the patients on efficacy and ease of use, using a four-point scale (very satisfactory to not satisfactory at all)
