Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* Confirmed CINDU diagnosis (as per guidelines) for symptomatic dermographism, cold urticaria or cholinergic urticaria for = 4 months.

* Diagnosis of CINDU (symptomatic dermographism, cold urticaria or cholinergic urticaria) inadequately controlled with H1-AH at local label approved doses at the time of randomization, as defined by all of the following:
* Positive response (i.e development of symptoms) to triggers despite treatment with H1-AH
* Positive response (i.e. development of symptoms) to provocation test on day of randomization
* Participants must be able to physically perform the protocol defined provocation test specific to the participant's CINDU.
* Cholinergic urticaria participants must show sweating in performing the pulse-controlled ergometry test on day of randomization. Participants with anhidrosis must not be included.
* Willing and able to complete a daily symptom eDiary as per protocol requirement and adhere to the study visit schedules
Minimum age
12 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
* History of hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or its components or to drugs of similar chemical classes or to the provocation test or items used in provocation tests

* Participants who have concomitant CSU at screening
* Participants who have a familial form of the target CINDU that is being considered for the participant's inclusion in this study
* Participants having a more defined other form of inducible urticaria than the target CINDU that is being considered for the participant's inclusion in this study
* Diseases, other than chronic inducible urticaria, with urticarial or angioedema symptoms such as urticarial vasculitis, erythema multiforme, cutaneous mastocytosis (urticaria pigmentosa) and hereditary or acquired angioedema (eg, due to C1 inhibitor deficiency).
* Any other skin disease associated with chronic itching that might influence, in the investigator's opinion, the study evaluations and results (eg, atopic dermatitis, bullous pemphigoid, dermatitis herpetiformis, senile pruritus, etc.) or skin diseases associated with only wheals and no itch e.g asymptomatic dermographism
* Prior exposure to ligelizumab, omalizumab and or other anti-IgE therapies
