ClinicalTrials.gov · COMPLETED, 2010

90 participants

Abstract

The study is a Phase II, dose-ranging, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study of the efficacy and safety of a single subcutaneously administered omalizumab dose as add-on therapy for the treatment of adolescent and adult patients 12-75 years old who have been diagnosed with CIU and remain symptomatic despite treatment with therapeutic doses of an H1 antihistamine. The study will enroll approximately 76 patients at approximately 45 study centers in the United States and Germany.

Conditions: Chronic Idiopathic Urticaria.

Primary outcome: Change in Urticaria Activity Score 7 (UAS7) From Baseline to Week 4.

Enrollment: 90 participants.
