Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the effects of 150 and 300 mg omalizumab on critical temperature thresholds (CTT) in CCU patients challenged with defined temperatures using TEMPTest 3.0.;Secondary Objective: To assess the effects of 150 and 300 mg omalizumab on critical stimulation time thresholds (CSTT) in CCU patients using TEMPTest 3.0. To assess the safety of omalizumab in subjects with CCU ;Primary end point(s): Change in critical temperature thresholds (CTT) from baseline to day 70 after treatment with omalizumab compared to placebo. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: after 10 weeks

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Safety of patients treated with omalizumab: This includes physical examination, routine safety laboratory assessments, vital signs and adverse event reporting;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: after 10 weeks
