Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The study objective will be to evaluate the efficacy of bilastine in the relief of pruritus in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria or pruritus associated with other skin diseases.;Secondary Objective: Secondary objectives will include the assessment of: - Efficacy in terms of other symptoms and signs of the disease groups - Safety and tolerability of bilastine in terms of adverse events, including ECG and laboratory tests - Quality of life.;Primary end point(s): Primary efficacy variable: Mean change in weekly pruritus/itchy severity score from baseline to week 8;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The evaluation will be performed after all patients have been included and the database lock has been performed. The main population for the analysis will be the Full Analysis Set Population. An additional Per Protocol Population with all the subjects of the Full Analysis Set Population who do not perform any major protocol deviation will serve as complementary analysis for the primary endpoint.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The evaluation will be performed after all patients have been included and the database lock has been performed.;Secondary end point(s): Patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria: •Mean change in weekly UAS (UAS7) from baseline to week 1, 2, 4 and 8 •Mean change in weekly pruritus severity score from baseline to week 1, 2 and 4 (a,b). •Mean change in weekly VAS for pruritus from baseline to week 1, 2, 4 and 8 (a,b) •Change in daily UAS from baseline (a) •Change in daily wheal and itch from baseline (a) •Change in daily itch from baseline (a) •General improvement factor (reflective) at week 2, 4 and 8 •Change in DLQI from baseline to week 4 and 8 (c) Patients with eczema/dermatitis, prurigo and cutaneous pruritus: •Mean change in weekly itch score from baseline to week 1, 2 and 4 (a,b) •Mean change in weekly VAS for pruritus from baseline to week 1, 2, 4 and 8 (a,b) •Change in daily itch from baseline (a) •Change in investigator’s rash score from baseline to week 2, 4 and 8(c) •General improvement factor (reflective) at week 2, 4 and 8 •Change in DLQI from baseline to week 4 and 8(c) (a) - Baseline: Mean of each symptom score of enrollment day and 3 days prior to enrollment (mean of total 4 days) (b) - Analysis: mean of symptom score at baseline – mean of symptom score for 7 days before each visit. (c) - Analysis: Baseline score on Day 0 – score of each visit Safety endpoints: • Incidence of adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), and related adverse events (rAEs). • Change of various clinical laboratory test results, ECG and vital signs.
